I can thoroughly agree with that, I've always been fine & had no problems despite the tours I was involved in. What always struck me, especially living here in Germany was the amount of fireworks & especially "Bangers" that were set off for New year, I often wondered & still do how some of the older folk feel on new years eve.

Bramsche is 14km from Osnabrück a major Garrison town in the days of Adolf (also later when the Brits were stationed here), added to that the metalworks, railyards & industry, plus the 3 Airfields, Achmer, Hesepe & Vorden took a very heavy toll in bombings from the RAF & USAF. I'm pretty sure the yearly carousing & festivities on the 31st would most certainly bring back some unpleasant memories for some of these folk.
