Christmas markets

[Stephen230]

Not for me. But I’ll have a guess that the ones people are bigging up in other cities, all get slagged off by the locals there as being overpriced shit for tourists, as every Mancunian seems to do about ours.

They bring in a load of tourists into Manchester which is good for the economy. I'm sure they employ a good few locals as well which helps people out.

They look really festive and have become a centre-piece for the city centre at Christmas and I'm sure there's millions of photos beaming the centre of town around the world which will also boost it's image and encourage people to visit.

Yes, the food, drinks etc are expensive but the good news is that you don't have to go. You can choose not to go, go once or go every week - the choice is yours!

They aren't my cup of tea, I feel I've done them enough over the years, but they are a HUGE draw for people. I never hear about people going to the Liverpool Christmas Markets, Leeds Christmas Markets, Newcastle Christmas Markets, Birmingham Christmas Markets, London Christmas Markets etc!

I think I’ve decided to try and make my own Currywurst this weekend with arrabiata sauce and the special sausages I have.

Guarantee it’ll ming.

No need buy a bratwurst and get some of this with a sprinkle of paprika

 

[MCFC Wirral]

That’s one expensive bottle of sauce!

Not really my thing but always visit the one in Bolton for an hour or so.
They put up a big teepee with live acoustic music , glass of mulled wine to try and feel festive

Never been to Manchester one but staying in Leicester Square in December, theres always one there, Trafalfar and next to the Wheel, so will give them a mooch.
Otherwise I wouldnt go to one unless it was a proper German one or something.

That's not currywurst you heathen! That's, er, Italiawurst. In fact, it's just the wurst.

It’s a big bottle and would last quite a few sausages, £5 for about 4 bratties in Aldi, save yourself a fortune. Sounds like a Viz tip.
