According to reports, there is a plan to add a “leap second” to the UTC time (the official source of time) at midnight on New Years Eve - so the clocks will go from 23:59:59 to 23:59:60 before moving into 2006 - so how this will affect the countdown to the new year is anyone’s Guess - will Big Ben’s chimes be at the correct time?
Who knows…. and by midnight most people will probably be too drunk, and trying to find someone to kiss at the turn of midnight to care…
