New Year's Eve in London
"Paul Corfield" wrote in message
news I have never been tempted to go and watch the London fireworks - standing getting freezing cold hardly appeals. Most years I am somewhere much warmer and have only bothered to try to see the local fireworks once in Hong Kong. It was an utter waste of time as I saw nothing. I now don't bother at all as you can see it on the news repeatedly. I understand that three (possibly four) years ago in London that the police get very close to a very serious crush condition at one location and nearly lost control of the crowds at another due to the way the crowds were being herded. I won't use the word "manage" as it implies some sense. It seems that the police response is to manage people even more tightly. I have absolutely no wish at all to be herded into a pen against my will. Thank you for reminding me why I don't bother to waste my time ! Yes, as with many live events, the multiple TV cameras have far better vantage positions than any single spectator, even one who queued for hours, could get. And which live spectator could judge that this year, for the first time, the London new year fireworks were even better than Sydney's? |
