Year's? Catch up

7:41

with friends generally. Usually there's

7:43

a big group of us. Um, we all get

7:45

together every year. Um, so I shall

7:47

probably do that. Not sure where yet,

7:49

but yeah, that's the general gist of it.

7:51

And what are your plans this year for

7:52

for New Year's?

7:55

Are we going to a party, right? Yeah.

7:56

Yeah. Party. Mhm. Yeah. What happens at

7:59

these parties? Cuz in in other

8:01

countries, you know, sometimes New Year

8:04

isn't a big thing. Sometimes at

8:05

different times of the year. What how do

8:07

the British celebrate New Year? Um

8:09

basically just drinking. Yeah. Lots of

8:11

drinking and talking and just to get to

8:15

see old friends, make new friends. It's

8:18

pretty casual, isn't it? I mean, people

8:19

make quite a big deal of it in terms of

8:21

drinking.

8:22

Um, yeah.

8:24

Stay up till midnight.

8:27

Later, obviously.

8:29

Is there any traditions after midnight?

8:31

Like in Spain, every every chime for

8:33

clocking, they put a grape in their

8:35

mouth. Do you do anything like that? No,

8:38

not I've not heard of anything like that

8:40

really. One one other question. Okay.

8:43

Um, what's the kind of what's the best

8:46

New Year's you ever had? Oh gosh. Um, I

8:50

had a good one in America. I watched the

8:52

ball drop in New York in America on TV

8:54

and had friends doing silly games again.
