bianco Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Apparently carlsberg spat there dummys out a few year back when there sales were down so brothers could only sell by the pint. I say carlsberg should fook off and stop selling pints that smell like farts and taste like mud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy09 Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 NO DON'T BRING IT BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!! Another consideration was the amount of the plastic bottles that where just ending up going to landfill. Thousands of the bottles just left every morning to clear up all over the field. GFL would be barking mad to allow it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufus Gwertigan Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 (edited) Now we've just got paper cups/plates and discarded food to deal with, though at least they stamp flat. I liked the bottles, they didn't spill, and were easier to carry and get served, but weren't legal (being 2L, not 4 pints) as I understand it. Reckon we'd still have them if more people gave a shite about the litter. Edited May 7, 2010 by Rufus Gwertigan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy09 Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 The paper cups and plates are biodegradable and compostable, as well as the wooden cutlery that most stalls should use. Plastic bottles are a nightmare to deal with, even when recycling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strolling wanderer Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 I thought the reason for not having them was down to the Licensing Authorities and/or local Council who were disturbed by the vast numbers of drunk people crashed out or staggering around the Jazz World field surrounded by the plastic bottle debris rather than it being Carlsberg throwing their weight around.

r0cky Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Yes, and it's been hashed through a few times, here's a good post on it: /index.php?showtopic=116646&st=40&p=2752725&#entry2752725">http://www.efestivals.co.uk/forums/index.p...p;#entry2752725 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeb Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 (edited) The easy and environmentally acceptable solution is much the same as when considering options various for dealing with the need for cider recycling at night: Simply pack an appropriate bottle - and also a funnel if needed Packing List #1: 1 - 2l Comfort Bottle ... specifically for cider recycling purposes #2: 2l pop bottle ... specifically for cider replenishment purposes #3: Other stuff various as required They don't call them Comfort bottles for nothing BTW and needless to say that it's always best to ensure 2 *VERY* different bottles are used for each of these duties of course to avoid any potential for confusion no matter what ! Ditto for funnels if you need 'em of course - pack of several different sizes/colours for not very much at your local el-cheapo store or £shop etc. Find that 2l is never quite enough for you ? Then may I recommend one of these: Not that I have one myself but they do kinda seem like a good idea for Pear Cider on the move and all that ... providing you have a Sherpa with you anyway Edited May 7, 2010 by mikeb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramragon Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 Hmmmm, I couldn't quite decide whether that deserved ... a or a or even a response but never mind, I don't much care cos they're all very appropriate so just take your pick The bottom line I think is simply that some peeps (i.e. peeps apaprently like YOU) can't/wont act reasonably and responsibly then expect to be treated like a child/moron and all that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wweerr208 Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 (edited) i'm not going to bite, but for all you deluded people who want a green festival then stay at home - it better for the environment the festival is a huge f**king carbon foot print - go and witter about banning supermarket plastic bags while buying products from all over the world the % of litter produced is so minute it unbelievable why not ban the the fireworks for putting heavy metals into the atmosphere or all the inefficient light bulbs all over the site, etc.. your just concentrating on the minor points - open your eyes Edited May 7, 2010 by wweerr208 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
