Green Police

Last year I saw loads of Green police and could always hear them with their whistles. This year I only saw 2 of them, normally they go round in groups of 10 or 15, was there less of them this year or we're people being good so no need for them to blow the whistle?

Yeah saw them in the Stone Circle on Wednesday night. Hilarious. Chased a bloke away from the hedge practically with his trousers round his ankles - once they caught up with him they didn't really know what to do so one of them rugby tackled him to the floor! No excuse when there are toilets about 100 yards away ...

There were quite a few knocking around. Saw about 8 or so on diff occasions (8 lots that is).

Tbh there is "generally" no excuse for pissing in the bushes.

The only exception I would make is around Shangri-La/Arcadia at night. The lack of urinals/toilets INSIDE there was baffling.

The queues meant that it could take up to 20 mins to get to the toilets on some nights.

The only lot I saw woke me and my OH up, checking to make sure we had got enough suncream on. Saw far fewer blokes pissing in hedges this year though - well done guys, you've finally discovered that the loos aren't that bad :rolleyes:

I had the strange situation of me asking a the real police where the bogs were in the east offsite England field, been told that 'Meh, I'm not looking', moving away to piss in a hedge, as advised, then having the 'green' police try and 'arrest' me...

It amused me greatly... trust me, I'm not someone who would usually just go and piss in a hedge, but i was discrete and miles away from anyone, and the look on their faces when I told them that a copper had told me to piss there was priceless :P

I saw the green police up at the stone circle find two girls in the hedge at the bottom and chase them out of there, one of them tried to say it wasn't what they were doing. Did like how they announced it to every that these two young girls were going to toilet in the hedge then everyone boo'd :P

Whats get me is there wasn;t a que for the toilets less than a minute away :huh:

Was up past stone circle at top of hill on Wednesday night and just had balloon of laughing gas when out of nowhere we saw some guy run full pelt all the way down and across hill with one green policeman on the case.

Not sure if it was laughing gas (dont think so) but that sight was priceless.

I saw them on the Thursday evening and was one of the weirdest things that has ever happened to me at Glastonbury..

Some total cockwomble had bought a bottle of magners into the pyramid area and then left it to be broken, so I picked it up put it in my bag and sat down to eat my pie in a Yorkshire pudding...

after I had finished the pie and a little bit of the crust of the Yorkshire I decided to make my way back across the field to the tent.

Now I dont see to good and generally walk in a straight line looking down on the ground (hence I found the bottle) when I bumped into the Green Police. In one hand I held the remains of my meal.. the crust of a Giant Yorkshire pudding...

  • Me: Hello!

  • GP: Is that yours?

  • Me: Yes, I am taking to a bin to dispose of it...

  • GP: Can I have a bit?

  • Me: Errr yes!

GP tears off a bit of Yorkshire crust and munches on it...

  • GP: Can I have all off it?

  • Me: Knock yourself out!

  • GP: Thanks very much!

Takes the rest of the crust and leaves me with the plate, knife and fork and plodded off into the burliness...

Only at Glastonbury

Only really noticed them Wednesday night up the stones, just after sunset. Clearly caught one fella relieving himself in the tree's as we heard the whistles and next thing I saw was the culprit sprinting away trying to do his trousers up :lol: ,
