I found this photo on The Sun's website, one of England's tabloids. Apparently this girl got tanked in Newcastle's Bigg Market, and needed a helping hand. The Sun's editors weren't ones to waste irony.According to the rags, New Year's in England was yet another night of drunken debauchery, as binge drinkers threw up into rivers, passed out on street corners, and wore next to nothing in the early chill of 2008.
To which I say, where's the problem? England's always been like that. Any country that closes its pubs at 11pm is asking for trouble, as people try to get blotto before the call of "Time, please." Turning around and asking those same louts to take it easy on New Year's Eve is like asking a Bengal tiger to take it easy on the veal.

They've changed the laws in England now so there are bars open after hours and for some reason some 24hrs. The law allowed for 24hr bars...all or none theory I suspect!
