'I'm not convinced the only mugs are the ones travelling home in visitors' handbags'
We may have just entered November, but one of Manchester's Christmas Markets zones is already pulling in the crowds.
And all the festive favourites are available such as sausages, Yorkshire wraps and pancakes, as well as mulled wine and hot chocolate. The bill for three hot dogs and two portions of chips came to £30 and then one Yorkshire wrap added another tenner - although it was highly praised as 'the best I've ever tasted'.
We reported earlier this week how the prices of some of the products have predictably risen this year. The Yorkshire wraps are up from £8 last year. That's for chicken, beef or minted lamb. If you want a mixed meat one, those have risen from £10 to £12. Obviously prices differ across the markets and we won't know whether there are price increases across the board until the other stalls open next week. If Cathedral Gardens is anything to go by, it's likely there will.
