I'm looking for something that is trainer like (in comfort and looks though could probably cope with velcro type fasteners), can take a heavy downpour and either
* stay completely dry inside
or
* saturate as I am happy to do this time of year then dry out afterwards without staying horrible and soggy for long.
Most normal trainers seem to need time in the airing cupboard.
I have used sandals but they're only an option in the summer.
Do cycling shoes behave like this with water ? I'm not really planning on getting into all this clipless stuff at the moment.

Depends on the shoe. I find that with clipless pedals, proper cycling shoes and overshoes when rainy, my feet mostly stay dry. Clipless is a big advantage here as you can use neoprene overshoes which are Absolutely Spiffing.

Sandals are fine in the winter, wear black socks and people won't notice ;o)
When it is really cold, Sandals + neoprene overshoes are just as warm as Shoes + neoprene overshoes.
I will admit my sandals were a little cold to walk through the snow, earlier this year, when I had to get off because the snow blowing in my eyes was blinding me.
