Where I live in France (Villeneuve sur Lot) they have an annual firework display like I have never seen before in England. It lasts for more than 25 minutes and is free - well the town council and therefore ratepayers pay for it. It is on two bridges over the River Lot and is crammed with thousands of spectators that arrive early to see the rock bands that is also free to view.
It isn't New Year's Eve though. Bastille Day in June and last year was a double celebration as the town's charter was 750 years old. That's why France's economy is f*cked. Socialists to the core and they always get their priorities wrong....

Eh??
So you would rather our tax money paid for it??
Fuck that - we waste enough money without spending hundreds of thousands on a firework display for a bunch of divvy tourists

Be warned this is a sign of things to come. Only under such as Doris would someone have the cheek to charge taxpayers [ who subsidise these pyrotechnics ] to see their own fireworks.
Welcome to Doris world where everything is charged for and to hell with the people who've actually provided the money for the display via taxes and congestion charges.

Can see them better watching on TV. To be fair, it's the same every year and I usually watch Jools Holland.

Yes Ray, I was at Kavos once but only as an observer, far too old to get on it with the ladies at the time

Eggy is right. All the Essex oompa loompas will be down below defjam. Everyone will think the fireworks have started early, as the night sky will be aglow with orange all around them.

Re: A £10 charge for viewing London nye fireworks this year
If I'm in this country I'll just watch them from my usual vantage point of the rooftop across the river from the London Eye, sipping champagne!
Looking down on all the Essex scum. "
Absolute schoolboy howler.
London Eye is on the south bank, so if you are watching from across the river from the london eye, then you are north of the river and looking at the south london cesspit of waste, detritus and scum that merges seamlessly with kent.
Fair point though.

1864 Cough
On 29 March 1864, the United Kingdom, Greece, France and Russia signed the Treaty of London, pledging the transfer of sovereignty to Greece upon ratification. Thus, on 21 May, by proclamation of the Lord High Commissioner, the Ionian Islands were united with Greece.[35]
