The German Market is here in Birmingham again , I think we're twinned with Frankfort or something, its in the main square and down the main shopping street, which is fine , creates a nice festive atmosphere in the city centre.
Very crowded , so strolling round I couldn't help hearing people talking to each other and lots of people talking loudly on cellphones, as they do. Thing is , almost everyone was foreign! Vast majority! Obviously German stallholders and I know that we do have the odd Asian ,West Indian and Irishman but everyone seemed to be Russian ,Polish, Eastern European of various descriptions , the few English accents sounded very "posh" to my ear.
More like darn sarf in Larndern than Brum TBH.
