jeez when u think about it, it's a bit gross innit?!

Ive got mine, and an 07 one, the numbers are long gone though. They're always a conversation starter at work .

I can imagine. Is it along the lines of "why don't you get a bath you scruffy bastard"

[farmer_andy]

Haha is keeping wristbands proportional to youre general cleanliness?  
Ive got leeds 07,08 on. The worst one to still have on would be 05, they were frickin annoying. I think its well cool to always remember how mint the weekends were everytime you look at your hands

I had to take mine off when they begin to smell. Especially the fabric ones.

I still have my 2008 one as I'm going to claim my free crate of lager next year!!

its only smells if you don't wash proper. lol

good luck with getting you free beer, l heard it was a myth...

[Bradders]

A combination of myth, exaggeration and old rules.

I've still got '07 and '08 on. I wash them every time I wash myself. If anything it's more hygienic than wearing a bracelet every day, you'd never wash a bracelet you could take off.

As for why - it's a good conversation starter and souvenier.

[fumanchew]

ive still got 07 and 08 on and would have 06 on but was made to cut it of i dont really think of them any more

[DanDeg]

I had a fair few various Leeds/Glasto/V Festival wristbands on up until a few months ago when I had to have an MRI scan and cut them all off , I only left them on because I couldn't be bothered taking them off at first, in the end I got attached.

[PeterD]

every festival I have ever been to without exception, afterwards, pull up to the house move tent from car to house, go into kitchen, find scissors and cut off wristband. They irritate me beyond belief and am always happy to get rid of. They do however go into a box of stuff that I keep.

[Ant_1310]

Still got mine on from 07 and 08, unhygienic apparently but meh loyalty and dedication is what its all about

hope this years are a bit better than last years though coz they were not great

[Boris The Spider]

I've got Leeds 06, Glasto 07/08 and V 07/08 on my wrist.
