Before I became a Christian I was a bit of drinker. Got hammered in Munich one year, and had to get the train to Nuremberg the following morning. I was in a state. Bought a giant pretzel at the train station, and an hour later was sober.

Pretzels are the answer!

Yeah, between religion and pretzels I'd definitely choose the latter!

Absolutely nein for me.

Appreciate it’s good for the city but regular pubs need us too.

Here here.

I was very anti it now just don’t let it bother me.

Would rather spend my money in an actual pub where I can sit down in the warm and go to a clean toilet not a portaloo. It’s the same old cheap tat being sold every year.

I’m with Dan spend your money in a local pub.

Are there any actual German stall holders at the German market?

It's shite. I love Christmas and the markets but ours is crap. I always try to get to one somewhere abroad every year.

Vienna is amazing and makes ours look an embarrassment. Prague also superb. Budapest very good too.

Used to see them all in a convoy past my house on the Cov Road on Xmas eve making a break for Dover after they’d packed up.

It's great. Tourists love it. Don't go if ya don't like it.

Even though ours is official as it is paid for in part by Frankfurt, real German Xmas markets don't serve beer.
