    I visited some friends in the UK last summer. I'm not a cider person in general as most of it can be ropey - certainly what you get here can be. I spent a great evening having a bit of craic with one of my friends and drinking our way through a few bottles of Thatchers Cider. We had two types, Katey and Katey Rosé. Both were fantastic and I'd dearly love to get my hands on a few again. I know I can order them online but if anyone knows of somewhere in the Galway city area that I could pick up a few bottles, I'd be delighted to find out.

    Never seen them over here, there is a serious lack of reasonably good, affordable ciders over here for some reason, there are a few half decent ciders but most are sugary, chemical muck like Bulmers or Thorntons. A few I've tried such as Aspall, Weston and Henney that I got in Dublin Off Licenses are worth a try, I think there would be a market for cider in the €3 for a 500ml bottle range, €4+ is too much.

    Edit:

    Just remembered, M&S also sell one or two ciders, a bottled one which is quite nice and a cheap canned one which whilst not as nice as the bottled one is much nicer than Bulmers and Strongbow etc.

    A fitting tribute to the Iron Lady.
