Market goers have slammed Britain's largest German Christmas market for its prices and for introducing a one-drink rule to 'stop people getting drunk'

Visitors attending Birmingham's Frankfurt Christmas Market have branded the event a "rip-off" after prices went up to an all-time high when it opened on Friday .

Regular visitor John Beard, 35, who works in the city centre, said he won't be attending due to the booze crackdown."It's a combination of the rip-off prices and that one beer rule is just daft. You can queue for half hour there easily so sometimes you want to double up. "People are watching the pennies more than ever and don't want to spend nearly a tenner on a sausage. You can blow about £50 in ten minutes."

Trevor Smith said: "The last time I went there I got a hot dog and coffee cost me 15 quid I said to the bloke what part of Germany you from he said Tipton."Dave Gwilt put: "Same old tat year after year, and the added bonus of getting your pockets picked, erm I'll give it a swerve thanks." On the other hand, a half-pint of beer has frozen in price at £4.50, as has a boozy hot chocolate at £7, garlic bread at £4, and crepes from £4.50.

Tony Jones, from Birmingham, said: "I think it's amazing, it's the best time of the year and it's really entertaining. It's once a year and I come every year. I love it, I do.His girlfriend Chloe Flynn said: "It is expensive for the beers, but because it's German beer you don't even need that many to get drunk.""It's like one wife, one car, one home - you don't need more than one thing at a time sometimes.
