bring in the new year with cheap gimmicks like someones balls dropping in New York or some crappy count down on Sydneys tyne bridge, isnt its wonderful to see dear old Britain do it with a bit of class and style with the chimes of Big Ben?
Rule Britannia!

As an American, I say you should be very proud to be British. A salute to our cousins across the pond! The very best for the new year!

Pathethic attempts to bring in the New Year? Yes, I remember the Millenium Eve disaster when the Thames was supposed to light up like a wall of fire and absolutely nothing happened.
Hearing a clock ringing is very low-tech these days. The French and the Australians always have enormous firework displays.
Personally, I think neither approach is right. I like to spend New Year's Eve in quiet reflection on the year gone past and thinking of what lies ahead in the future.

And have you noticed that none of these Johnny Foreigners can tell the time? Why, the Australians have already celebrated New Year. Crazy or what? Must be all that walking around upside down talking to kangaroos and playing with their didgeridoos.
Let's hope the Yanks remember New Year this time. Last year they forgot about it, and only remembered when they saw our celebrations. In New York they were 5 hours late, while those crazy Californians didn't celebrate until 8 o'clock in the morning.
Foreigners, eh, Crispy? What can you do?

I think you are living in a fools paradise i live in Spain ( i am British) and celebrate New Year to the sound of our own clock in the village square striking the bells until midnight,and then partying, not the sound of morons screaming ,swearing ,fighting ,vomiting,etc.just people having a drink ,dancing in the streets until daylight to a good band,and not a fight in sight ,unless brits are involved,i think most sane people would much prefer that

I think New Year's Eve should be renamed. I suggest Old Year's A***hole. My view might change if, by some miracle, all politicians were to disappear forever on the stroke of midnight.

If you call it classy with drunken louts hanging about, fighting, abusing and showing their **** and **** to the rest of the world then you need help . Nothing classy about drinking till you vomit on the pavements, peeing on the shop windows and bashing each others brains out. Have a Happy New year and i hope if you are going to be one of those drinking yourself silly then please don't drink and drive and kill innocent people.
