I'm virtually living in the world capital of cider at the moment so I can't imagine things would be as good.

However, the home brewing community delves into all areas of brewing, from beer to cider to mead, so there's a healthy interest, just no mass demand from the public.

It is also quite difficult to get English cider over here whereas English beers are fairly easy to get in Pennsylvania.. but talking about Cider......
Several years ago me and the missus were visiting my folks in the West Country (arrrr) we stopped at a farm and bought some scrumpy. Once we opened it and had a few near-blindness-inducing slugs we decanted it into a big Coca-cola botle.
The next morning when we came downstairs there was a sickly sweet smell through the house and the dog was behaving oddly, crashing into furniture. When I traced the smell it was the scrumpy which had eaten its way through the plastic bottle and dripped onto the carpet to be lapped up by the dog who then became pissed.
