It looks like it's going to be a very very quiet Christmas for a lot of us especially with the Christmas markets being shut well in Manchester they have announced they will not be opening them this time round  |

People should shop local

Christmas Markets are invariably filled by opportunists exploiting minds addled by sausage and mulled wine

The German Chris as market in Birmingham was cancelled weeks ago. No great loss really. Just stalls of all the same stuff and idiots in the streets getting pissed and generally being annoying wankers. |

I use to love the Christmas markets but over the years they have become far too busy and overcrowded and takes the pleasure out of them. I have been going to the little local ones instead over the last few years, just as fun and none of the crowds. I will improvise this year and sit in the garden with a Bratwurst and mulled wine

I love Christmas markets although prefer the little independent ones rather than the big city ones. I do love Lincoln Christmas market though and make a full weekend of it. Not so keen on Manchester nor York’s as it’s just very samey. Birminghams I enjoy for the music area at the top. I overdosed a little last year and went to 6  I will miss them this year but glad they are cancelled as people are incapable of social distancing in supermarkets there are no ways they will distance at stalls |

I too love the Christmas markets and the atmosphere .... but nothing here compares to the REAL Christmas markets in Germany!!
The ones here do tend to be a bit ‘samey’. I’ve only been to Manchester once .... never again - if was just absolutely rammed, and you couldn’t move! I can’t believe it’s only just been cancelled ... that ships be first to go and last to come back ... not a hope of any social distancing there!
