Fewer and fewer chemists and jewellers stock 'em (Or in the case of the latter, sell them seperately). So, if you can't get it from a chemist or supermarket, try Maplins.

be careful - you shouldn't have to pay more than about 2-2.50 euro.

I tried a jewellers for one once and they wanted a tenner per battery!

Argos stock them for a decent price.
