"Are you all right?" or...it's more like "RY'all right?" or "All right?" You'll hear that a lot. People aren't asking you if you are all right, concerned for your health and well being. They're greeting you, as in, Is everything good? How are you today? Of course you can answer that you're just fine thanks, but more often you'll hear people reply "Yeah, cheers, mate!" That's another phrase you'll hear a lot. "Cheers" isn't necessarily a toast before you down your pint, it's more commonly used to say "Thanks" so you can say it when you get off the bus, or pay for your taxi. "Thank you" will never go out of style though and a smile and a little politeness can get you a long way.

From Mid November until the week before Christmas, Manchester is buzzing with all kinds of great things. There is the famous winter markets which is the big draw. The main European market is in Albert Square in front of the looming tower of the Town Hall. The German market is in St. Ann's Square and there are extensions to the markets from Brazenose Street, New Cathedral Street and Exchange Street. Find arts and crafts, gifts, food and drink to sample and bring home for holiday cheer! Check out the various light displays in the city center Go skating in Piccadilly gardens until just after New Year (Need to buy a ticket) Ride the Manchester Wheel (need to buy a ticket)
