Ye're baith wrang. Ye can say "Happy New Year", and ye can say "A Guid New Year tae awbodie", but ye never, never, wish oniebody either of them before the stroke of midnight on Hogmanay. The richt thing tae say AFORE then is "hae a guid new year WHEN IT COMES". Hae a guid new year when it comes......... |
