Bright hopes, big dreams, loads of aspiration and tons of excitement about an impending party plan: that pretty much sums up the New Year’s spirit. Isn’t it? But while different cultures in different parts of the world celebrate the highly anticipated evening- a date that is pretty much the most sought after evening in an year- in myriad styles, Britain does it a tad bit differently.
Or should one say slightly incessantly? While are no one to judge, truth certainly is the way Britain brings about the new year makes quite a splash, where world media stands.
Else why would leading news and tabloids such as the revered Daily Mail or The Sun carry pictures that truly mark Harry Potter-land in a league of its own when it comes to being besotted with booze; drenched in the new year’s spirit?
We present you 5 astonishing and funny snaps that capture Britain’s unabashed party spirit, caught especially on the New Year’s Eve
1. Two men and a dark pair of underpants
While the idea of braving Britain’s cold New Year’s eve sans any sock in the feet was an idea perhaps crazy like Boris Johnson’s hairdo, some party goers were found utterly inebriated so as to be missing their skirts. Consider this babe here. But the mystery didn’t end here. Where her shoes vanished is something that might never be revealed.
2. A completely sozzled couple
Whether the celebrated Hollywood movie Dirty Dancing inspired this couple or not, one’s can’t say for certain. But one’s sure of a thing. There was just no possibility of raising another glass to the lady’s lack of balance. Also, the lady’s handbag didn’t quite suit the bloke.
3. The long and short of it
Forecast suggests that London and Manchester’s evening temperatures dropped as low as to be giving hot-headed Donald Trump a squeaky cool day. But not for this party dweller.
One’s not quite sure what those long giraffe like socks were doing on legs that didn’t seem to be carrying a skirt at all? Did the police fine her for the choice of her sock’ colour?
4. A dress that would do Lady Gaga proud
It’s not entirely difficult to fathom why no hands were reaching out to shake her’s? Quite frankly, the woman’s dress was about as abominable as England’s form throughout the Ashes in Australia. The only thing that comes close to matching the absurdity of this costume would perhaps be Kim Jong-Un’s hairstyle. No too subtle surely.
5. Some just over do it, don’t they
The 31st evening in London was another great reason to thank civic authorities for building roadside pavements.
