Imagine the scene..... Disco is going well and midnight is approaching so I do the countdown, wish everyone happy new year and launch into the traditional Post midnight songs. The bar staff then (for some unknown reason) decide to turn on the large screen TV by the dance floor which dramatically proclaims it's still 30 seconds to go and starts the countdown :mad:
Turns out I was probably spot on, as there can be a substantial delay introduced in "live TV" with digital broadcasts such as Sky, Virgin, Freeview.
This year, it's TV's off.
