Wordpress may well fit the bill, using pages rather than posts.

Its actually very expandable using various plugins, i'm working on a wordpress powered 'site' at the moment. Most people think of it as a blogging tool / cms only but it actually lends itself very well to being a simple cms too.

i found something like this

http://demo.opensourcecms.com/angelinecmslite/index.php

which i like the basic-ness of it, but its a blog script and doesn't off much in the form of structure, like tables

My preference would still be wordpress because of the wide user (support) base and variety of plugins its actually a very powerful CMS, but can be as basic as you want at the same time

is there a way i could have a basic layout like domainbrand.co.uk

Yes very easily, there are 1000's of templates i'm sure you could find one you like!

Basically you use wordpress's pages function and not their posts function which allows you to have static pages.

Who's your host? Any host offers lots of preinstalled CMSs today. That's not a problem for them.

How do you use page functions in Wordpress rather than post functions? I didn't even know you do that

Wordpress in wonderful....
Just a query ...when you just use pages only (and no post), does google index these pages? I am using wordpress for my blogs and i havent seen my pages being indexed (like other posts)?

It will index them, but unlike regular "posts" I don't think it does a Pingback when you post a new "page" unlike posting a new "post". Those pingbacks mean that you get looked at / indexed pretty sharpish.
