Manchester Christmas Markets

[blue b4 the moon]

4 hours and decamped to the crown & anchor £7 for 2 pints rather than £5 + plastic glass deposit.

Got an annual lads afternoon out next week & a day with my lads & girlfriend rather than buying presents & that'll be it.

Too many people. Far too many people, can't stand them (neither people nor the markets).

Also overpriced piss in plastic glasses.

Just like the Etihad.

I will go when it’s nearer to Christmas than bonfire night

Normally go on a midweek night for a few drinks and a bit of food

 

[aguerrrroooooooooooo]

The food is (hot dogs and beer) nice. Nothing much else from that though

I kinda like it but as others note sat outside in the cold takes the shine off that nice cold pint you just got.

It is a very couple type thing to do Imo so if your missus is whining you never do owt, take her to the markets.

Its alright once a year, preferably midweek.

Awaits posts about overpriced piss in plastic glasses....

Also overpriced piss in plastic glasses.

This intrigues me. What do you guys think is a reasonable price for piss in plastic glasses?

If it's less than in the ground it's all positive, but sadly it's not.
