Not fussed about fireworks now I’m all grown up lol

What I do miss though is the fog horns that I used to hear carrying eerily off the Humber at midnight on NYE....used to be so evocative and a lot more meaningful as we moved from one year to the next

I still think of the foghorns now when opening up the backdoor to 'let the old year out and walking round to the front to let the new year in'. I'm probably one of the few idiots round here who do that  


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

My mother in law does that, with a piece of bread and a candle for some reason, but she is a scouser.

When we were kids, one of us was chosen to do it, but we were sent with a piece of coal. No, me neither.

I've heard of people were supposed to go First Footing with a piece of coal. I thought that was a Scottish tradition. Dark haired people were favoured as First Footers.

No Scots in my family. Yorkies and Cockneys and Norfolkers (well at least that what I thought my Great Granny from Hull said 'we dornt want norfuckers in aargh famleh'). All fishing folk.

I'd forgotten the dark haired bit, but yes, that's also correct. I'd also forgotten it was called first footing, so you have jogged some memories there.

I have some Scots and Irish in my family. Mainly fishing folk also.

Inside the Factory tonight is worth a watch. From GY.

Hull was on Mark Steel's in Town on Radio 4 earlier. Repeated later. Worth a listen.

Cheers KM, currently watching Man City destroy Watford  to remember what slick passing football looks like, but will seek those out on catch up.
