Can We Help with a Cactus ID?

Yes we can!
Dear Cactus Jungle,
I purchased a cactus from a garden centre in the UK. They were unable to tell me much about my purchase. I have been looking at your website and the cactus bears a striking similarity to opuntia monacantha variegata, which you sellI just wondered whether you would be able to confirm whether this is the same type of plant. I have attached a picture of my cactus, for identification.
Best wishes,
Nicholas
You are correct!
