They were truly spectacular and I’m sorry the rest of the world but we “blew you away” (no pun intended). I watched them on the TV and it was a jaw dropping spectacle and no other display came close. Happy New Year!

Well i never saw it, but were they really the best in the world or is this just bias?

The best fireworks in the world are staged on Sydney Harbour, 1.5million people watching from vantage points all around the Harbour,many had camped out for days to get the best spots,i met many British tourists who said they had never seen anything like it,much better than the UK.

London was super and Sydney was spectacular. My own, not so good. A couple of sparklers and a Catherine Wheel tethered to a fencepost.

Get real people!! Sydney is the crowned king of NYE fireworks. 1.5million people watching alongside the harbour, perhaps 1 billon on TV . $6million spent on the display. Point made I think?

If you think that was good, watch the video of the fireworks on Sydney Harbour bridge!

The first 30 seconds were great … the next 10 minutes were probably great too, but you couldn’t see a single firework through all the smoke.

I got an immense feeling of pride watching that display. Called me biased but it seemed our display blew the rest of the world’s displays to bits, especially the blinding ending.

Hogmany was started in Scotland
It was the Scots Holiday of bringing in the new year we friends and family
They didnt get to celebrate Christmas as they were all thought as heathens so no holiday for them
So Scots brought in Hogmany as the beginning of a newyear
Was no real problem as many in other parts of Britain were in there beds as the Scots brought in Newyear
And now all of a sudden its Londons idea
I was at the celbrations in Endinburgh and it was magic so friendly and happy as it should be
So ill raise my glass to all over the UK HAPPY NEWYEAR TO ALL AND A GUID NEWYEAR TO AIN AND AH GOD BLESS YOU ALL
