BBC - Scotland on Film

Tom Anthony from Bathgate. Posted 29 Nov 2005.
My father was teetotal so we never had any drink in the house except at hogmanay when we would have an impromtu party with all the neighbours and it would usually last until 6 in the morning. The thing is, nobody could afford to drink every week in those days so it was much more of an occasion. Today regular drinking is so commonplace that Hogmanay is no longer a special occasion and the streets are worse places of an evening than they used to be.
