Haven't had a New Year in Edinburgh since 97 when I worked till 11.00pm in Glasgow, drove to my girl friends flat (I'd sold mine) and had a drink with the TV - she was in Fareham!
Never did go to the big celebration which has got bigger but I'm sorry so many folk will be disappointed. Organisers were sure there'd be no need to cancel whatever the weather!
Amusing aside - the first year they decided on tickets for the bash, an inspector from Lothians & Borders was being interviewed on TV and announced that a ticket would be required to get into the city centre after 8.00pm - roadblocks and everything!
Interviewer:
What about people in the city centre before 8.00pm?
Inspector:
Eh, welllll!
Result - lots of drunks in city centre from 7.00pm!
