O/T Birmingham German Xmas Market

Total sh ite and really annoying for those living in the city, as it makes it hard to get through the crowds desperate to be ripped off on some Aldi hot dogs and some pi ss tasting beer.

They don't have British or Birmingham Market in Frankfurt so why have we got this fascination with their s hite.

They bombed the fk out of Birmingham, so why the rabid rush to part with your hard earnt on some over priced c rap, during a cost of living crisis.

Why not have a British Market with our own flashing lights and Santa's and sell our own produce. Cut out on all those lorrys making their way from Germany and wrecking the environment.

Walked past the stalls many times and seen that type of c rap, along with peanut, cookie and other fk all to do with German crap. I could understand a genuine German stall selling caps with "I hate Russian winters" or "the 4th Reich is nigh", but this s s hit show, where I bet the stall holders don't pay any UK tax on the cash in hand earnings made here.

The one on the right looks like Jim Bowen.

Super, smashing, let's see what you could've won!

A German ****ing market! What is that all about? I was born and grew up there but haven't been back for over 20 years. I never saw such a thing.

I would never support such a crass event.

If we wanted to have a fete and Morris Dancers in Munich the Nazis would be out with flame throwers.

My grandparents would be turning in their urns with all this b o l l o x.

Morris Dancers in Munich, there’s a thought, they’d never have us back in the EU after that!

Munich would be perfect for Morris dancers, shame we can’t export those prats to the far flung corners of the globe like the pan pipe players of Peru!

Then there are 22 feet long sausages in a stale bun costing £22 each or near as dammit and they want extra 50p for onions :O No craft stalls just stale cakes and sweets that were probably on sale last year. All very disappointing. steer clear if I were you. Anyway whats wrong with having a British Christmas market?

We went a few years ago and most of the stallholders were Indians, we were talking to one Indian lady stallholder who came from Penn.
Why call it German? You would think the Germans would show a bit more effort seeing as they bombed the original Birmingham market hall.
Our local the Hinksford Arms has a Christmas Market in the large beer gardens with stalls,Carol singers and traditional food and drink, that will do me.
