Happy New Year to everyone. I saw the New Year in on the Embankment watching the fireworks display. Fireworks were great but only lasted 10 minutes after I'd waited in the rain for 2.5 hours. Not sure I'd want to do it again.

Well Jon at least you've had the experience

. I confess many New Years Eves years have passed since i've waded in the fountains in Trafalgar Square, minus fireworks and just the chiming of Big Ben at midnight, it was what you somehow had to do on New Years Eve and then even escaped pneumonia going home afterwards on the train soaked,

so being older and wiser, Ten minutes of fireworks doesn't have the slightest appeal, but sitting in the warm does.

Must have been the early sixties the one and only time Peter and I made it to Trafalgar Square to see in the New Year. Peter picked me up from the nurses home, and asked where I'd like to go, and that was where I chose.

We drove up to London, and actually parked on Westminster Bridge. Doubt you could do that nowadays! I remember being quite disappointed when midnight struck and all there was to mark the occasion were the chimes of Big Ben.

In York in my younger days, the place to be was the Minster, what seemed like everyone and his dog would gather right round the cathedral, link arms and see the new year in.

We had a very quiet start to our 2008, the fireworks in London looked fantastic though.

In my hometown of Guisborough in North Yorks, all the revellers used to sgather around the Market Cross, and the churchbells used to ring in the New Year. Not done that for years - they had to rebuild the Market Cross after drunken wellwishers started to climb it, and dislodged the unique sundial that adorns it. Forutnately, the Lottery Fund has stumped up the several thousands to have it repaired!

What a bloomin' shame. Sorry to hear that.
