New Years Eve in London

From the latest news . . .

We are in solidarity with the 80% of Brits who plan to celebrate New Years Eve at home. According to this article in The Guardian:
  • most Britons would rather see in the New Year nestled into their Christmas sweaters, with a glass in hand and the chimes of Big Ben on the telly

  • more than six million can expect an injury later tonight

  • Those who do go out will spend big: an average of £106 by men and £71 by women, adding up to£4bn in a single day

  • about 1.6 million people are expected to get into fights today . . . and 60,000 will end up seeing in the New Year in a police cell

We hope that you welcome in the New Year in a safe and meaningful way.

Happy New Year! We so much enjoyed seeing both of you while visiting with L & H for the holidays. We are back home.
Recently saw something on tv you might be interested in
if you haven't tried already. A place called Yo! Sushi!
in London (don't know where) owned by a writer (name?)
from Hollywood maybe. The place looked so very interesting: kind of a new wave automat - food delivered
assembly-line style in color-coded plastic dishes which
code to price. You can special order also, and they
read your Tarot cards while you wait. It seems there are
maybe 10 or so different locations - but I don't think they
are all in London. It looked v. cool.
Best for the New Year!
Pat & Bill
