In defence of flags.

[Insomaniac]

I will be taking the biggest flag I can possibly carry this year and try and spend as much time in front of the Pyramid stage. I want to encourage as many people to do this. Imagine if nearly everyone had a massive flag, surely then the organisers might do something about removing flags in front of stages. Fair enough we'll have one year where no one can see any of the bands but this sacrifice would be worth it for the future.

I took several flags last year, and flew them on an old fishing rod.

Got lots of good comments about them and had a good laugh as a result.

When the bands came on, I took the fishing rod apart, rolled it all up, took about four seconds, no hassle.

At the main stages, they add a lot to the atmosphere, and a few flying while the band is on is not a problem for me, but if everybody had one up it would be ridiculous.
