..... and having seen his further post over there, it's not only him that likes a good lie, it seems it's netweather themselves too. And I guess the reason for their own lie is that they didn't like being told that their weather forecasts are worse than Metcheck's - which they certainly were when I did a comparison.

So against the statements of lies, here's a bit of truth back at them.... eFestivals does not have "a commercial relationship with metcheck" and never ever has done. This website used to feature Metcheck's weather forecasts, but hasn't done for however many years (3+ at least I think) since the main part of this website changed from having a green pages to the design it has now.

The childishness of some knows no bounds it seems.

Speaking as a new member & woman.... It's appreciated! Not the most friendly thing to stumble upon (particually in a forum for Glastonbury - surposedly a festival that supports equality and freedom)!!

[Amii]

Perhaps we should draw a line under all this? I think everything that needed to be said has been said.

ANYWAY.

I found this on Twitter from @metoffice:

We'll be putting video weather forecasts for #glasto on our YouTube channel from Tuesday http://######/mBDNAN

The latest on the weather is that it will be HOT HOT HOT!!! :-)

WHAT YOU AND OTHERS ARE FAILING TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT A NUMBER OF PEOPLE HAD ALREADY LEFT BEFORE I INTERVENED - BECAUSE OF THE SEXISM

[new2glasto]

There's only one way to settle this:

Neil

Devonhammer

Glastolympics at the Pyramid Fields

Arm Wrestle

The winner takes the glory

The loser has to watch Ke$ha.

http://www.efestivals.co.uk/info/weather.shtml

That's a page I didn't realise still existed, and as far as I'm aware it's not linked to from any other page within the site.

But as you've found it, perhaps it is - could you please tell me how you got to it, so that I can remove the page as well as any links to it?

That page in a roundabout way makes clear that there's no relationship - because what it says about "the weather icon will appear on all the pages for that festival" isn't what actually happens, as you can see for yourself.

[**claire**]

As a women I never found it sexist nor offensive. It was just harmless fun?? What is wrong with people appreciating the female form?

Fair enough if the admin guy told the poster to stop because it was causing offensive to others. But this is the internet, please let it be free.

[Simon1803201]

this whole thing has turned completely megalolz. Good work guys, you've made what has been a poor day at work much more fun.

[Cooter]

Agreed - but as some people are reading this at work (like me), it does draw the eye to my PC of anyone who's walking past at the time; I think that was more the point that some people were trying to make!

Not really suitable work viewing is it!

[eoinca]

YES!!

[Lentus]

In fairness, watching Ke$ha isn't too bad, its listening to her thats the problem!
