Dear brissydeb,
How wrong can one be. Here in the North-West of the UK, we not only understand all about merry making and joviality but also the consequences of indulging too much in our most beloved of liquid refreshments, THE GROG!!
Ah yes I remember erm at least I think I do..no..no..ah f..k it pi..ed again
What am I going on about sssshhhhhhhh......time for bed, nite nite hic hic hic

Re: Hogmany
I'll be keeping up the tradition of drinking over this period. And try to educate my English mates(we are in Sydney BTW) on the art of drinking!
