My glastobuddy of the past 12 years has devised an ingenious way of removing all anxiety about the price of booze at the festival. The price of an average pint, whatever it might be in £, is ‘1 Pilton’. Everything else can be converted at that rate. A main meal is typically 1.6 Piltons, cocktails are normally around 2 Piltons, and so on. And at the end of a riotous 5 days the total cost is invariably the same, about 50 Piltons.
