I love fireworks, but the Mega-Displays tend to leave me a bit "ho-hum".
Much rather see a good local display - more intimate, noisier, smellier.
I used to love London's various displays. Most were private ( you can buy & light your own fireworks without a police permit), and most had varying ideas of what was 'midnight'. We used to sit atop Richmond hill and see who was off by the most.
One year it was the Jaggers, who didn't get going until 00:13, one year it was someone in Twickenham who figured 00:28 was close enough.
But mostly it was just fun!
