Yep we are in tonight - same reasons as above. It is raining and fairly windy in London. Is it getting old though or realising that standing by the Thames and watching the fireworks and then being pushed and shoved to get out of the crowd situation afterwards - really isn't much fun. We can still see the fireworks from the comfort of home (on TV) and eat, drink and be merry at the same time.
Saw the local news earlier tonight and it showed around 300 people already lining the Thames, opposite the London Eye - in the wind and rain -and they had about a 5 hour wait - for a few fireworks??????!!!!!!. I might be wrong, but I cannot see the fun in that,especially some standing there with small children. Looks like the right way to start the year with a cold. It reminds me of some of the naff holidays at times where you can't wait to get home, but convince yourself it was all worth it.
Happy new year to all, like me - at home in the warm watching rubbish television - I will be raising my glass at midnight and then watch the fireworks in comfort.
