View Full Version : Christmas Markets?
Right following on from the xmas do thread and you all suggesting ideas! :p
How about stealing the PM ideas of the christmas markets and drink for the day in Brum and evening if wished?
Attached is a poll for the dates, I've gone for Saturday's as I know some work shifts but I think most of us work weekdays? So may want Sunday to recover before work again on the monday?
So route away, or add comments in the thread regarding maybe something else?
Gone for Brum as easy for most to get to?
Will there be options for teetotal beverages and vegetarian food?

Im still going :D
Was going to suggest the same re. trains. Do you two want picking up, we can then all catch from Rowley???
What time did you have in mind? Im partying in Nottingham the night before, so would prefer a not too early start, say mid afternoon onwards?
Drew Carey
06-12-10, 01:20 PM
Sounds good to me mate. Picking up would be good. saves a few pennies going from Rowley!!! :D
Regarding timings, whenever suits you. We just need to make sure Specialone is kept in the loop.
We may (very likely) be joined by Lily's parents....but they won't hang around for long!!!! :D Also may have lad from Lily's work coming, but that one we aren't 100% sure on yet.
Cool, the more the merrier, or so they say :D
Phil said he was still going when I last spoke to him.
Shall we plan around 3pm, should give me plenty of time to get back from Notts and freshen up.
Drew Carey
06-12-10, 01:32 PM
No worries....plus gives us a good amount of drinky time in Brum!! :D

Can i ask why we are going in the afternoon?
We went on the night last year.
Town and the markets will be really really packed with shoppers, not ideal for some drinks.

I would imagine the bars there will be prety busy all day, probably more so towards the evening. If I remember rightly, we went last year on a Thurs night, so we didn't get the opportunity to go during the day!
Going early will give us more freedom to mooch around the Market, have some food, & as Lily says, more drinky time lol
Your sounding exceptionally grumpy tonight Philip lol

And you wanted me to share your taxi on the way home, and I'd have had to pay it from Castle Brom to Shirley, which is further than the centre of town to Castle Brom! :smt082
Cost me £3.50 for a DaySaver ticket, that got me there and back! You really should re-evaluate peasant transport. ;)

I used to go to the christmas markets with Saxo at lunchtime in Manchester, we used to eat the german sausage hotdogs and get drunk on mulled wine before going back to work.
Ahh, the good old days
