Sir: Quite right. Dump the empty Greenwich "celebration". My recipe for success? First, sack the Millennium Commission and let no one over 30 (apart from myself, at 49) near any future plans. Second, make the Glastonbury Festival in the year 2000 the centrepiece of a nationwide celebration of music of all kinds in all places. Third, hire a creative madman (Jean-Paul Gaultier comes to mind) to produce an extravagant parade through the streets of London as a focus for a street party.
