Of all places, Tesco actually do Thatchers' "single variety" ciders, of
which the 'Katy' is definitely worth drinking. It's around 8% ABV,
technically a 'dry' cider but quite light. It may also have been Tesco
who stocked a passable Scrumpy (although I didn't find a dead rat in the
bottom!), and they sometimes have a commercial perry (I think that was
Thatcher's as well).

Thanks, but I don't do Yahoo/Google web forums (I don't like web forums
in general, most of them insist on frames / Javascript / graphics /
pointy-clicky-rodent-things and they are slow and not an interface I'd
choose).
