The English just can't get the hang of New Year.
Only the Geordies and Scousers know how to do New Year properly, otherwise it's best left to the Scots.
"More UK Establishment prejudice against England"?
No, not really. Although, he’d be surely delighted to be regarded (libelled?) as part of the UK Establishment, ironically it’s Alan Cochrane coming out with that festive separatist sentiment.

Would west Cumbria be regarded as archetypical English? And do you reckon that the English "get" how we celebrate the new year?
Oh and aw the best fur the new year!

so the Home Counties it certainly wasn't. The only other place I spent New Year in England was Lewisham down in London and it was a bad disappointment; actually, considering I was also trying to impress a young non-Brit at the time, a disaster- we ended up with a kebab and a can and a good-night peck on the cheek on the night-bus at 12.30 am. She left these shore shortly after.
But in certain parts of England, including Cumbria, it is big, but Cochrane is right probably not quite as big as Scotland!
