    You are wrong there...christmas markets are by no means cheap...EXPENSIVE and nasty tat!
    I believe Edinburgh was retailing Bratwurst at £10ea last year, that's one pricey sausage..

    Incidentally, myself and a friend had the misfortune of visiting the Birmingham market a few years ago. He pointed out that most 'German' markets are the same 5 or 6 stalls repeated over and over again - he was spot on and I see this in pretty much every other one I've encountered since. There are some franchises making a lot of money fooling tourists with these 'traditional' markets.
    I did go to Hamburg in December a while ago. The markets there were nothing like the parodies here. The stalls contained some very lovely traditional craft items, oh and a proper Bratwurst was about €4..
