00:00Hi, I'm Theo and welcome to People on the Street. Today, I'm out in Manchester asking people about Manchester in the winter
00:06And that's because this city has just been named as one of the top six places in Europe to spend the winter period
00:12So we want to know if that adds up for people, if they agree, why they agree or if there's somewhere that they'd rather go
00:18I mean, I would say that the Christmas market is big, huge
00:22But I would say the assortment is not like, you know, especially for the gifts and everything, it's not that not enough
00:28Atmosphere, not enough crafts, not enough gifts, not enough
00:33Handmade stuff. Possibly in Europe, yes
00:38I think a lot more sunny and nicer places to probably spend the winter
00:42To be fair, like yeah, I don't know. I mean, it's like it's quite a big city
00:46I wouldn't instantly come to mind when I think of like Christmas place. I think of like London
00:53But I do know like there is a Christmas market but other than that
00:57I think a lot of people come to Manchester anyway
01:00A lot of people like Manchester for other reasons except for winter
01:05The markets are good. So I guess that's what attracts people
01:08And some more light, I think, because if compared to Edinburgh
01:12When you're in Edinburgh, it's really miracle and here is more like just markets
01:17Yeah, I've been to Christmas markets, obviously get really overcrowded and stuff, but it's nice and
01:24I like Manchester again, so I can see why it's kind of up there, but might be a bit cold and rainy
01:30Yeah, like I live in Liverpool and they have like a lot of decorations and festive stuff
01:35Like I'd say they're probably more, I'd think of that
01:39I just came back from Amsterdam and they just started up their Christmas market
01:42So they're pretty nice. It's sort of a similar vibe here
01:45I think, like especially the lighting on the trees that you see around
01:49And like the nice things stretching from building to building to the lightings
01:52I'd say yeah, that's sort of a similar vibe
01:54I'd say London, like I feel like that's like the biggest place
01:56And you're more likely to find like interesting stuff there
