Joan Lewis – New Year Traditions

Well, I don't say it's not today, where, in some places you have to make an appointment, don't you to go to the pub and that, um, no, we here, you'd hear the boats even when very young. I mean, I remember the noise was deafening because I was at the end of the road, didn't I guess you were really close to it, yeah? Well, yeah, because he's got lots of street and then Victoria dog at the end of night, wouldn't it? The meals, and then doc was there. Yeah, it was very loud, but we didn't get up when I was young, but as I got older, if we went in my names, it'd be Scottish. It'd be first footing. You heard of that. What is it? Where it's the Scottish thing, where the dark, the man, the darkest man here, he would go, go out of the door, open the door to let the New Year in, build the boats going off, and then he would come back in with whiskey and a lump of coal. That was, that was the tradition of what we did, because they'd obviously done that in Scotland.
