Various national media outlets have been making much of suggestions that many British folk will be opting to spend New Year at home, having stocked up on lager, bitter, cider, wine and spirits from off-licences, supermarkets or convenience shops.
Brigg Blog will be interested to see whether this applies in our town tonight, Saturday, or whether post-Christmas tills will be ringing merrily in our various town centre hostelries, as is generally the case on December 31.
Last Saturday night, Christmas Eve, saw fewer folk than normal about in the Brigg pubs we frequented.
However, we were told by a very reliable source this was because many had opted, instead, to go out the previous evening, Friday, and then stay at home (not necessarily alone) on December 24.
Donning our investigative journalist's hat, you understand, Brigg Blog will be visiting a few pubs tonight to find out, first hand, whether the trade in local pubs is running at normal level for New Year's Eve.
Someone's got to do it!
Maybe we'll see you at a bar somewhere in town.
Our picture shows New Year's Eve 2015 at Hardy's/Lord Nelson, in Brigg Market Place.
