scottsdad Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Was in a Teams meeting earlier this week with university management. One of the women on the call was at home in an oodie. Might as well have rocked up in her pyjamas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same shite overpriced crepes dripping in nutella for £7 or shite mulled wine or shite cider for £7. Waste of money, shite. Edit: unfortunately my missus loves them and practically thinks it's the epitome of Christmas, which is also shite. Fortunately this year I think she's going with her maw, amazing. Unfortunately again, it will mean her mum will buy pointless shite and probably gift it to me / us. Shite.

Theroadlesstravelled Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 There was a Christmas market in Glasgow by St Enoch Sq that I went to a couple of times. My memory of going is the 1pm winter darkness and the pishing rain. Trying to eat a bratwurst that’s getting soggy with rain water is not for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic Joe Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 They have a Yorkshire pudding wrap stall in the Dundee Christmas Market. Can't say I'm not tempted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas markets in the UK are utter shite. Not just Christmas markets tbh. A Saturday morning market in a French town is full of stalls selling fresh bread, amazing vegetables and local wines.

DiegoDiego Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Christmas markets in Germany and Austria are great.Nah, the whole idea is a bit shite. Let's wait until the coldest time of the year to have a market so the punters have to buy overpriced hot beverages to keep warm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
