Give it to Ron Posted 10 December, 2008 Posted 10 December, 2008 I had a wander round the one in town on Sunday and was amazed at how much they are charging for food. One bloke walked away with about 10 fried potatoe slices some saurkraut and a few slices of suckling pig that cost £9. I have tried the spicy sausages in the past and these were now £4 I am sure they were only £3ish last year the lager was at £3 which I don't think too bad.
Master Bates Posted 10 December, 2008 Posted 10 December, 2008 I like the German market, don't shop there just like the atmosphere and the smell.
Jillyanne Posted 10 December, 2008 Posted 10 December, 2008 The one on the bank of the Thames in London near the London Eye is better.
Master Bates Posted 10 December, 2008 Posted 10 December, 2008 The one on the bank of the Thames in London near the London Eye is better. No it's not. GTFO!
Bentley Posted 10 December, 2008 Posted 10 December, 2008 I have tried the spicy sausages in the past and these were now £4 I am sure they were only £3ish last year. Nope. Always been £4.
Scummer Posted 10 December, 2008 Posted 10 December, 2008 the lager was at £3 which I don't think too bad. At the one in Edinburgh the lager is £4, plus a £4 deposit on the mug.
Scudamore Posted 10 December, 2008 Posted 10 December, 2008 Saw that last year and thought it looked dirty compared to the Bournemouth one... From where i had a nice pint and a steak sandwich for 3 pound each on Sunday night...

Special K Posted 10 December, 2008 Posted 10 December, 2008 TBF Germany must be pony this time of year for them to come over here and sell gassy beer and crappy sweets to the cackers who occupy the city centre during the day. And it's disappointing to see people lapping it up; it's only ****e lager, dogmeat sausages (made up of lips and assholes), putrid sugar "confectionary" and poxy garden tools. I wonder if there is an English Market in Germany anywhere, selling fish and chips, franklin mint plates and cheap cider, where all the krauts* swoon about saying it's great to have a traditional english christmas market, blah, blah, * term used in a jovial way and not at all racist or germanophobe or whatever.
James_O_Mac Posted 10 December, 2008 Posted 10 December, 2008 i wish they put it in the road outside where tk maxx was...so f**king rammed in town ALL the time when its there! I know they're obviously gonna get more business outside West Quay, but surely u'd be bringing business to the shops down east street etc? Brilliant work by the council again there..

They are over here because they know they can get away with selling sausages for £4 that'll be about €2 in Germany. (BTW you can get similar sausages in packs of 6 for about £1.50 in Lidl.)
Scudamore Posted 10 December, 2008 Posted 10 December, 2008 The one in Bournemouth is pathetic and tiny, nice cup of cherry mulled wine enjoyed there last weekend though. Incorrect. It's a nice size. And doesn't get in the way of people trying to walk places. The one in Southampton just looks sh:t and takes up too much space. As if it's not f::cking hard enough trying to walk anywhere with all the mongs in the way to get all ya Christmas shopping done on Christmas Eve as it is...
Kadeem Hardison Posted 10 December, 2008 Posted 10 December, 2008 I am taking an English market to Germany next year. I will be selling traditional fake Stone Island sweatshirts and pirate DVDs. And for a real slice of English culture, I will employ 16-year-old mum's to wander around in pink tracksuits, telling their dirty, screaming offspring to "shut the f*ck up Brooklyn/Britney/Usher/Jordan/Biggins".
dubai_phil Posted 10 December, 2008 Posted 10 December, 2008 I'm now worried. Just got back from a German Market in Zurich... You're saying they are in Southampton AND Bournemouth as WELL! The b**stds have invaded Europe again, look at that, 30's recession, they invade. 2008 recession and they're everywhere.... Mind you the Gluhwien was nice and only 5 CHFs (whatever that is in real money)
LGTL Posted 10 December, 2008 Posted 10 December, 2008 Don't see why we need a "German Market" in the middle of Southampton anyway. If you want to experience one, go to Germany and let me get on with my Christmas shopping in peace, without that wretched stench lingering through the city centre...

If you want to experience one, go to Germany and let me get on with my Christmas shopping in peace, without that wretched stench lingering through the city centre... The only reason they exist in the UK is because they are subsidised by the host councils so that the nice real Germans are paid by the local authority to come and set up stall and then sell their bratwurst, lager and hansel & gretel trinkets! Whether you are in Southampton, Bournemouth, Edinburgh, Manchester or London, every single stall holder has been paid to come here by the local authority! Gute verk if you can get it!
Robsk II Posted 10 December, 2008 Posted 10 December, 2008 F*cking Gastarbeiters, taking our bratwurst..
Scudamore Posted 10 December, 2008 Posted 10 December, 2008 I prefer the french markets we get here anyway. That's some seriously pungent cheese...and the garlic hums as well... Gotta love those stinking cheese eating surrender monkeys...
Saints1980 Posted 10 December, 2008 Posted 10 December, 2008 I prefer the french markets we get here anyway. That's some seriously pungent cheese...and the garlic hums as well... Gotta love those stinking cheese eating surrender monkeys... Amen to that.
DS Posted 10 December, 2008 Posted 10 December, 2008 The funny thing about the 'German' market is that most of them are Dutch...
Jillyanne Posted 10 December, 2008 Posted 10 December, 2008 The funny thing about the 'German' market is that most of them are Dutch... The ones at the London one were mostly South African, although one of them did sell me this, and it actually is really good and the wax lasts longer than she said:- http://www.alexanderinteriors.co.uk/wax-buyonline.aspx?ProductID=23&CategoryID=7
Zurichsaint Posted 11 December, 2008 Posted 11 December, 2008 Mind you the Gluhwien was nice and only 5 CHFs (whatever that is in real money) Hah! You should said you were going - its a mate of mine that runs the Gluhwein stands there! Its a small world... (CHF 5 is about £2.80, if GPB counts as real money in Dubai!)

I'm certain they weren't £4 last year; £3.50 at most. They're nice but there's no way I'm paying £4 for a hot-dog when you need to eat at least 2 of them to be anywhere near full.
Deppo Posted 15 December, 2008 Posted 15 December, 2008 The market smells lovely. Anyone who disagrees with me is wrong.
Calvin Posted 15 December, 2008 Posted 15 December, 2008 People are stupid enough to spend 4 quid on a ****ing hotdog, So ze Germanz come back to sell more products because buzinezz is high. Talk about the credit crunch. some people just use it as a lame excuse
