So, how much did the London fireworks cost? About £2 million, give or take a few thousand sparklers. That’s a golf course’s worth of cash. Or a small fleet of delivery vans. Or a year’s supply of teabags for the entire UK (probably).
Is that insane? A little. Is it glorious? Absolutely. I’d rather see Big Ben lit up like a Christmas tree than have that money sitting in a bank account.
So next time you watch it, remember: you’re watching two million pounds of pure, joyful chaos. And honestly? That’s a pretty cheap way to buy hope for an entire year. Happy New Year, you beautiful, expensive disaster.
