  • Note that this doesn't include Christmas Markets, which, following the example of the Birmingham one, seem to work well and be popular.

    The one in Brum was started by Germans wasn't it Oliver?

    There's something very British about these perennial failures. I imagine them being ran by Joe and Eddy Grundy-esque characters.

  • I think you are impugning the Grundys.
    A Grundy WWLand wiuld be inept, but they would not miss the opportunity to sell 'Winter/Xmas Scrumpy' in the queue to Santa's Grotto, and as we all know partially sloshed punters are likely to overlook minor shortcomings. They would also be offering a 'Choose/Catch your own Turkey' stall. Clarry (sp?), would also have been busy baking, with Poacher's pies being a good seller. Again full stomachs equal fewer complaints.
    A Grundy WWLand would be a let down, but Eddy would at least have the nous to hire a snow machine.
    The famous disaster WWLands are run by cynical crooks more like Nelson Gabriel or for more modern listeners Matt Crawford.
