London’s fireworks…

[Hap]

Oh. That’s where the HS2 money was redirected to.

It was televised nationally. Feeling very levelled up.

 

[Thornaby90]

Quite a display to be fair…

 

[LessoftheLip]

In fairness the fireworks display is paid for by the the Greater London Authority Arts and Culture Fund. It's also a ticketed event costing £20 per person which goes towards covering the expense of the display.

They were brilliant like

Suspect it will move further towards drones in the coming years - needs some better sound effects to do it though

 

[Uncle_Marbles]

They were bonkers....loved it

 

[alanmoodysdog]

Gushing about it on BBC World news over in Thailand ... covered live and does cement our status as a rich powerful nation

 

[atypical_boro]

I’ve not seen them yet. But what was good about them? Aren’t all fireworks basically the same?

Well they were nothing like the half-#rsed display I once put on in my back garden.

 

[Druss_The_Legend]

I'm about 15 miles(as the crow flies) from central London so I'm not sure if the sound of fireworks travel that far. But it was bloody loud here with fireworks going off at midnight.

Fair enough. But I bet they weren’t vastly different to last year.

Nice one Rifle How's the OMAD diet going ?

South Bank, no, not the one in London, didn't get a tree until halfway through December and only had festive lights on five lamposts.

A nice visual accompaniment to the neighbours' somewhat crude aural offerings. Which I suspect comprised mainly army surplus claymores.

 

[xxlshirts_fit_all]

I’m a bit meh with fire works displays…
I don’t feel like it makes a difference to me if they spaff all that money or not but theres always some one with an opinion either way…

There wont be funding for extra hospital beds if they don’t have them but we could feed a few more hungry kids if we didn’t

 

[Will_Graham]

They seemed better than last year to me, though I'm not sure specifically why.

I was disappointed with Edinburgh this year. Maybe just the TV camera angle but there was too much smoke. Edinburgh used to be the daddy, but other cities have upped their game since 2000.

I've no idea what you're on about. And what's an OMAD diet?

 

[Will_Graham]

I've no idea what you're on about. And what's an OMAD diet?

Don't worry, I've just checked. I won't be doing that thanks very much

 

[Nobby_Barnes]

Yeah righto

 

[Will_Graham]

Yeah righto

Well happy new year anyway, whatever it is you're on about.
