boogs Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Yep, went once years ago. Lasted one drink and sneaked away from the group to fuck off round to the City Arms. Was in the bad books but she's not asked me to go again. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leigh white Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I called in the Manc Christmas market after our jollies in Munich, the Bratwurst and a stein of ale were more dearer than my digs in Bavaria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter MickyD Posted December 8, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted December 8, 2020 Last time I went to Manchester Markets, I was with wife and I needed a pee. Nearest toilets were adjacent to Town Hall. No issues so far. I got back to that two-deck beer house and the yellow ShowSec security wouldn’t let me in. Apparently I needed to join the queue of about 50 people who were going in on a one person out-one person in method. I pointed out that I’d just come out to go for a piss and wifey was still in there saving my place and my beer. Didn’t matter, go queue up. We ended up fucking off. I reckon ShowSec probably loan their dickheads to BWFC as jobsworth stewards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
