New Year in Trafalgar Square..... what joy, what fun, the scrunch of broken bottles underfoot - the undercurrent of potential violence simmering beneath the surface, and huge oppressive police presence to counter it.
Whoever, we wondered, originally decided this was a good place to see 2006 out as we fought past the crowds surging to get on the tube at Leicester Square. It took no less than two hours to get back to Hackney, and should Danny Boyle ever make a prequel to 28 Days Later then he'd have found a wealth of visual inspiration in Central London that night.
Oh well - still more fun than sitting at home I guess!
