..... 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)!!

May I suggest the moderator takes a deep breath and gets a coffee, walks away from the computer has a stretch and a smoke.

before anyone else gets banned ,offended or leaves the forum.

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

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.

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.

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! :blink:

    • I think we have to trust their reasons to take a break now 
    • Fair enough! I've never heard it formally addressed, but thanks for the education!
    • Absolutely - it's a double edged sword. Weezer is the only one I can recall them amending, but since the last fallow year we've had Phoebe Bridgers, Courteeners, Myles Smith, Yungblud and The Vaccines (and I suppose Djo count?) play very small slots on Woodies for artists their size. That's not even including secret sets, and ones like Sigrid and Tom Odell that spilled out of the tent. See also: Wet Leg and Barry Can't Swim on the Park   Part of me loves that this happens because getting a big artist in a small slot feels intimate and unique to Glastonbury from any other festival, but it does come at the cost of feeling anxious that they'll shut the stage down before you get there!
