An angry mum has hit out at the prices of a Christmas market sweet stall - branding the £2.99 per 100g rate for treats an "utter disgrace".
Emma Gill took her son to a Kingdom of Sweets stall at the Manchester Christmas Markets as a festive treat - but was "shocked" when a bag of sweeties she expected to cost £5 came out at more than twice that. Writing for the Manchester Evening News, Emma said she had been taken aback by the sky-high prices, particularly at a time when money is tight.
She wrote: "Nobody goes to a pick and mix stall expecting it to be cheap. I've been a parent for 14 years now so I'm only too aware of the places I'm likely to be fleeced.
