As a child it was a pain - it was too close too Christmas. I used to get annoyed with people giving me one big present for Christmas and Birthday together, I didnt have anything to open on my Birthday, which for a child is a big thing; I think it is better to give two smaller presents in such circumstances.


Nowadays, its great. I have no desperate wish to have extravagant celebrations and there is always a party on somewhere.


I dont think I have ever experienced new year's eve in ED as such. I do quite like the foreign city experience.

I'm glad to hear that everyone is already making plans for NYE, I normally leave it to the last minute, but always land up doing something great.

Although this year i'm working NYE night, so i'll not be drinking and having fun, but I'll be thinking of you at the CPT, The EDT, The Sun and Doves or anywhere else you may find yourself, whether you are wearing black tie, fancy dress or not a lot. Here's hoping it's your best NY ever.


I won't be envying your hangovers Jan 1st!!!

How about the forumites with kids, what shall we do?

We are going to be in London for the ifrst time in years.

The forumite with the biggest house could host the party, all the kids shoved in a room with food and games and the adults can then get busy with the disco dancin' etc.

who's going to volunteer?

DJ's, widescreen art film projection and funky lights

Goody Bag each for the 50 people who arrive before 9pm (includes limited edition commemorative signed screen print by Tony Lee, worth ?85).

Hog roast in the garden.

Two heated covered areas with armchairs, sofas & blankets, ideal for smoking / getting fresh evening air

The friendliest down to earth good fun ambience in south London.

    • Yes it's a witch hunt, but that's what the press does. Optics are almost more important than policy these days. If the public has even a whiff that a government isn't trustworthy, or is chaotic, that feeling lingers like a rotten smell.  It's another comms catastrophe for Labour - every time there's a story they rush out a knee-jerk denial, without verifying the facts. They did it with Raynor and it was a shit-show. That's what Labour keeps getting wrong. Reeves should have been gagged and told by someone with an ounce of sense to first check her emails. 
    • And at £945 per selective license. Not a bad earner for the council! 
    • For a while there was an unexpected glitch in planning laws that meant phone box operators (which is obviously mostly BT, but there were others) didn't need council permission to replace call boxes with small electronic billboards, so long as you could make calls from the billboard. I *think* the one on the corner of Croxted Rd and Park Hall Rd is an example of that. So the operators weren't always in a rush to remove the call boxes even when they didn't make any money on calls. I don't know if it still works like this. https://www.local.gov.uk/about/news/lga-call-crackdown-trojan-telephone-boxes-amid-900-cent-rise-some-areas
