Apart from the people, the music, the weather, the intimidating atmosphere, the flags, the toilets, the overpriced drinks and the lack of quality smack what do you really HATE about Glastonbury?

[Wallywatkins]

None of the above

[Vieuphoria]

Sunday Pyramid Stage.

[Madyokel]

ER I think the OP must be at V

[sisterofmercy]

The only thing I can think of is having to sleep on the floor. It makes my back hurt, but it's my own fault for not taking a camp bed/inflatable mattress. Oh, and walking past the waste trucks at the wrong time, doesn't half put you off your breakfast.

People who thinking going to watch music at glasto shouldn't be your priority(and thats not to say i have a problem with those who don't just those who have a problem with those those who go mainly for music).

[hashcity]

Erm, the clashes/scheduling. Clearly done that way for health and safety reasons but doesn't make it any easier to swallow.

[Kyelo]

I get what your getting at but what difference does it make being V? Crap as that festival may be, there is no excuse for littering regardless of what field its in.

Having to go home at the end

[General Lee]

The initial trip from the car to camping spot weighed down by a ton of stuff. Last year was the worst with the heat and the queue to get in.

Is this a take on.......

Reg: They've bled us white, the bastards. They've taken everything we had, not just from us, from our fathers and from our fathers' fathers. Stan: And from our fathers' fathers' fathers. Reg: Yes. Stan: And from our fathers' fathers' fathers' fathers. Reg: All right, Stan. Don't labour the point. And what have they ever given us in return? Xerxes: The aqueduct. Reg: Oh yeah, yeah they gave us that. Yeah. That's true. Masked Activist: And the sanitation! Stan: Oh yes... sanitation, Reg, you remember what the city used to be like. Reg: All right, I'll grant you that the aqueduct and the sanitation are two things that the Romans have done... Matthias: And the roads... Reg: (sharply) Well yes obviously the roads... the roads go without saying. But apart from the aqueduct, the sanitation and the roads... Another Masked Activist: Irrigation... Other Masked Voices: Medicine... Education... Health... Reg: Yes... all right, fair enough... Activist Near Front: And the wine... Omnes: Oh yes! True! Francis: Yeah. That's something we'd really miss if the Romans left, Reg. Masked Activist at Back: Public baths! Stan: And it's safe to walk in the streets at night now. Francis: Yes, they certainly know how to keep order... (general nodding)... let's face it, they're the only ones who could in a place like this.

(more general murmurs of agreement) Reg: All right... all right... but apart from better sanitation and medicine and education and irrigation and public health and roads and a freshwater system and baths and public order... what have the Romans done for us? Xerxes: Brought peace! Reg: (very angry, he's not having a good meeting at all) What!? Oh... (scornfully) Peace, yes... shut up!

People asking what the worst things about glasto are.......

There's nothing bad about it, if there's something you don't like then doing something about it, it's your festival!

[JoeyT]

the worst thing about glasto is the haters. 99.5% of people there are there to have the best 5 days of their life's so don't moan about it cos we don't give a shit!
