Spent it in Bristol last night where they were reminiscing about banging their saucepans with wooden spoons at midnight on new years eve. Is this a custom particular to Bristol? Did you do this last night? Where were you?

This is a common practice in the USA

Happy New Year to you too. In response to your question..
My Dad used pots and spoons, car horns, anything to make noise. I set off my car's panic alarm last night but it was hardly heard over the fireworks and other horns.
I think the pot and pan custom is rather widespread.

We had a bonfire. (Ontario, Canada). No snow yet. We had some firecrackers, so didn't do the pots and pans thing. Happy New Year!
