mjmooney Posted December 14, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted December 14, 2013 The nicest people in Europe are the ones who are nice. The worst ones are the ones who aren't nice. Can't see how nationality has anything to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voinjama Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 As for the German market, it is ridiculously overpriced. Have eaten there a few times simply because it is there, but the prices are nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Germans and Germany are great. generally people are people and there are obviously good and bad everywhere, it goes without saying but I have to say, I've found the Germans particularly friendly I'd have to qualify that by saying its taken from a relatively small sample of: all 4 types of Brits Irish Germans Dutch Americans French Poles Maltese as the only people I've had any sort of longish term dealings with as opposed to just holidays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekka Posted December 14, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted December 14, 2013 (edited) If you think the German market in Brum is busy and overpriced, you should see the "Winter Wonderland" in Hyde Park. Jeez, talk about an expensive way to be stood in a crush. (although it's good.. * big funky bars with DJs and live music everywhere ) *and no, that's no promo shot - I took the picture myself whether it be good or bad Edited December 14, 2013 by trekka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morley_crosses_to_Withe Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Are there actual places in Germany where masses of people shuffle around in the cold, past wooden huts, grumbling about the cost of candles, and glass ornaments, before eventually relenting to pay £12 for a glass of mulled wine & a sausage? How authentic are these so-called German markets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 (edited) went to the market today, more so needed to get the crimble shopping finished so I got the train up with the missus and her friend, got what I needed from a few shops and had a mooch around the market,can't see the appeal of it, I got hastled by a tramp twice, paid £3.50 for a beer and all I could smell was burnt meat, went and sat in the sun on the hill in the end and waited for the other half so if you saw a bloke stood by the bar drinking on his own looking pissed off it was probably me Edited December 14, 2013 by Jimzk5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted December 14, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted December 14, 2013 I don't really see the appeal either. Until this year I'd never actually 'been' to the market, just walked through it to get to do other things. This year my team at work has spent a couple of lunchtimes having a drink there, otherwise I've still just struggled my way through it. The beer wasn't much cop, it was expensive, and at the end of the day you're drinking in the street. I'd rather be drinking in an actual establishment, either sat down or standing enjoying nice surroundings (indoor or out). It makes that whole area of town an absolute nightmare to walk around as well, meaning I effectively end up trying to avoid it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
