A naked guy on the flagpole!

A STRANGE NEW YEAR'S EVE CUSTOM

There's a strange new year's eve custom in Keswick. Lots of people (obviously young, drunk and local) climb the flagpole on the main square and risk starting the new year with several broken limbs because of falling down.

This year there weren't any accidents but one guy ruined the start of his year by climbing the pole in his underpants and dropping them as soon as he reached the top. I bet he was a bit embarrassed when he was sober the next morning and realised that he was the talk of town!

Review Helpfulness: 2.5 out of 5 stars
