St Paddy's Day Massacre!

I went into town for the Manchester Irish Festival Market today. Ten years ago, this would have been a fun day, browsing loads of stalls and buying stuff you can normally only get in Ireland.

Now it's about 8 stalls, six of which are selling green and orange tat with 'Ireland' printed on it, one selling CDs your gran would be ashamed to own and one selling food you can get at your local Asda (cheaper). How disappointing... Sorry, but it's had its day!

I went down to film it. In honesty it was my first time so I enjoyed it but a comment on the film on Youtube did say something similar.
