So. Had a brilliant excellent time all round despite whatever the weather tried to throw at us. Thank you to the Eavis'

However, I know some people want to get up early Monday and get away (we do too!!) to beat traffic but at least when we do we do all we can to keep the noise to a minimum.
Unfortunately ..... We camped next to the most inconsiderate selfish sods in Michaels Mead and at 4 this morning they decided to use a whole reel of gaffer tape followed by a ton of shrink-wrap over a twenty min period.
Tossers.
Thanks you selfish twats.
Very glasto!

Man we had the biggest group of geordie f**kwits camped next to us! Either threatening to kill each other with tent pegs our taking about the size of the sex toy they had brought! We hated them!

[tinpottery]

Tell me about it. One of our neighbours used a wet wipe and threw it on the corner of my tent. Another set of them had a box of After Eights and did even offer us one.

My neighbours wore wellies when they left. The stomping's vibrations woke up me. Unbelievably inconsiderate.

Bastards, I thought our neighbours were w*nkers.

Was great where we were, first time I have been and everyone around us was really chatty and friendly.  In fact, I didn't hear any trouble at all for the entire time, I also never heard about any tents being opened or anybody being robbed

I was mostly annoyed by the group next to us who got up at 7ish each morning and sat around talking and shouting. Fair enough stay up late getting mashed but a breakfast club, really? The one year the bloody sun didn't oven-bake me up in the morning and I get woken up be people trying to start a volley of 'Alan's' at 7:30 to a bemused and silent campsite. Ear plugs solved the problem mind.

Our neighbours were a mixed bag, they were loud but f**king funny... mainly yelling at other loud neighbours who insisted to sing the hokey kokey for over a f**king hour straight

My favourites being 'RUN INTO A KNIFE!' 'YOU MAKE ME WAN'T TO EAT MY OWN FACE' and 'I REALLY DON'T LIKE YOU'

Also the was this group of girls who became the mos unpopular people in glasto because of their annoying laughing.... all the way into the wee hours... all the tents round us just chanted 'SHUT THE f**k UP! *clap clap clap clap* SHUT THE f**k UP!' though apparently people ended up pissing on their tents which took it a bit too far I think.

After pitching up in the pissing rain when gates opened overlooking pyramid stage, our neighbours rocked up about 5pm and actually came in and woke us up from a nap to ask us if we would move our tent to accomodate their friends tent - then started unpegging and moving the thing with us in it.

Earplugs solve most neighbour-related festival problems.  I never leave home without earplugs and eye-mask!

Where you in my campsite? I remember people yelling ALAN at like 7am and wanted to go out and clock them, then again they're same people that provided the LOLz so I let them off.

That's chuffing funny that is, made my day.

Resorted to tearing off the edge of my camping mat for a makeshift earplug due to my neighbours. One group of kids who were incapable of communicating at any given time other than shouting at each other, another dealer type who was doing those gas cannister things til about 5 am and the couple next to my tent getting jiggy every single night.

I sometimes wonder what some of you all expect.

Whether you are trapped in the Glasto of the 80s or 90s, or whether you have some unbelievable life back home where you sleep in a quiet little detached house down a cul-de-sac, I don't know, but you are at Glastonbury.  What you have to understand is whether you are 16 or 66 people go with their own way of enjoying it; whether that is drinking yourself into oblivion, buying 'earthy' mushrooms or shrink wrapping tents.

Up on Pennards it was eerily quiet if I'm honest.

Suggestions for next year?

Take some of the gas, pop round and ask if you can have a go next whilst shouting out the details to the shouty-lads.

Ours were doing Nos the whole weekend, non stop - morning, day, night. I think they should start taking hits of oxygen as this will send an even bigger shock to their body.

[robalotalob]

Sound advice, don't think my wife would be best pleased though!

[Le Chat Rouge]

We got there on Wed morn, set up our 10 tents (between 22 of us) and left a small space in the middle as a 'village square'. Had a small fire on Wed and Thur evenings.

Went for a wander Fri morning and came back and there was a huge tent that took up every cm of the village square - they must have been bloody delighted to find a space that was exactly the same size as their tent - the remains of the fire obviously meant nothing.

Came back sometime later and squeezed through the 15mm gap into my own tent and emerged to see my new neighbours peeing on my mates tent in broad daylight. They then spent the next 4 hours doing nos.

Cut to Sat pm, we went back to our tent spot and they had vanished - tent and everything - leaving about 100 of the shiny canisters behind. We reckoned they had been selling, made enough money and went home!

Gits.
