this is my first festival (leeds) and i've heard many stories about the toilets and how disgusting they are, and how it's advised not to use them.

so in the nicest way possible, where are you supposed to go for a shit, because i'll be eating all types of shit food and stuff of the stalls, just wondering if there are any pubs that have toilets that they let people use, or are the toilets not really that bad.

don't even take the piss (no pun intended)
it's a general question.

What you do with 'your matter' is your choice.  :P

Whenever you go into the loo, take sterile wipes with you. Wipe the seats. Then put toilet roll on top of them. Shit, boy!

Empathise with girls who don't have the luxury of being able to stand up.

Another option is to go to Boots and invest in some imodium. That's an over the counter medication used to treat diarrhoea and will keep you pretty plugged up for the weekend.

Three options:

- Crap in a bush.  :rolleyes:

- Get conked and head to the usual loo's, it won't seem as bad?

- Try and use the arena ones, they're actual porta loo's they are a bit better...

Race to the furthest portaloo block in the arena on opening of the gates. Nice fresh bog.

Alternatively go to Reading and get a hotel like me, for a nice bed, loo and shower!

If you need to go, you'll just go, no matter how grim they are. Just don't breathe through your nose or look down, ever! Also, be careful of anything in your pockets, we don't want another poo girl incident do we?
Also, use the portaloo's in the arena while you can, much cleaner and you can't hear other people have shits lol

Stop being a tart and go for a dump like everyone else. They might not be luxury but neither is what comes out of you.

I've never had a problem, the long drops in the campsite are fine as long as you don't look down (or don't drop anything down:lol: ). At least the smell drifts away. Like others are saying, man up. If you can't put up with a minging toilet then perhaps festivals aren't the place for you.

I find the long drops OK also. They smell a little but not ridiculously disgusting. By the Sunday though some of the Porta-loos are disgusting and full to the brim with excrament, I mean coming through the hole. The longdrops are heaven compared to sunday night porta-loos.

You can't go to a festival and not shit in the long drops. It's part of the experience!

Once you have done the first poo it will be plain sailing from there. Once you need to go, find a longdrop and just go for it. You will wonder what all the fuss was after you have done it.

Remember go for the longdrops not a turdis, the breeze around you takes the stink away.

At least taking a shit you get some privacy, just wait until you need to go for a piss 10 minutes before a headliner comes on. Talk about male bonding.
