wiggyrichard Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Havnt been up yet but will no doubt be making at least 2 trips up there, once with the missus and little dude...then once to get monkey drunk with the lads! From what ive heard its pretty much the same as last year, as long as they have those fried mushrooms & potato's with garlic sauce i'll be happy.

GarethRDR Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 There are no decent German markets anywhere near me. :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante_Lockhart Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 Heard it goes right down to the Bullring this year, but I suppose that'll just be more of the same shops rather than new ones. Yeah those mushrooms and potatoes are lush. Making me hungry now. I might buy a novelty hat again. My last one was ace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coda Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 It's right up to the ICC this year. They've got these stalls where you can win an iPad/iPhone but it looks fixed. Having said that I've seen people win these huge bears so they're not all robbing pikeys. I'll be getting slaughtered in a fortnight on that black beer they do.

AVFC_Hitz Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 There are no decent German markets anywhere near me. :cry: Make your own. Lidl and Aldi. Invite people. Charge 4.50 for a can of pisstenbürger and laugh gleefully as they scoff down a 5squid authentic Bratwürst. Knock together a cheap alpine shed from B&Q and sell crappily made wooden xmas decorations.

b6bloke Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 its a nightmare, more potential fights from pushing than closing time on Broad street :evil: Went up lasty Saturday and it goes all the way up to broad street but there is a lot of crap up there.

mjmooney Posted December 2, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted December 2, 2011 They tried one in Bradford last year. It closed down after three days due to lack of customers. True. The Leeds one is OK though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tommybringsgiants Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 My advice would be do not go on a weekend, so busy it is quite unpleasant! Much bigger this year, although lots of completely un-German/un-Xmas stores Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choffer Posted December 2, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted December 2, 2011 Bear in mind that the vast majority (if not all) of the list will be food and alcohol related. Be prepared to feel very poorly if you manage to get through too much of any tick list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiggyrichard Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Add to the list, the fried mushrooms and potato's with garlic sauce...they run an orgasm and calling in a nuke on Modern Warfare very close in terms of satisfaction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
