No - I can't, off the top of my head, give you any other examples of solely political threads on the Glastonbury chat forum. What I can give you are many, many examples of threads going back over 20 years for which my most diplomatic description would be 'drivel.' Threads about 'weather gods,' 'virtual campfires' where people used to act out a baffling role-play of offering 'virtual' joints to each other whilst sitting around a non-existent campfire and, of course, the many, many threads where handbag battles are fought over whether a particular musical artist is good or bad. I have absolutely zero interest in any of these things, but rather than flee the forum in tears, I choose to rarely, if ever, view these threads. I don't see this as any kind of burden and I don't understand why you're stamping your feet about the existence of a thread you're not interested in. It's interesting that you're placing significance in the fact that Glastonbury could still sell out, even if it were to abandon it's social/political/environmental/cultural crusades. I'm sure you're right about this, and I'm sure you're right about the majority of attendees having zero interest in any of these issues. I tend to draw the diametric opposite conclusion from this though - I see whatever's left of Glastonbury's radical spirit as something unique in a mega-festival and therefore to be cherished and protected - not swept away and replaced with middle of the road, lowest common denominator pop drivel. -

After many happy years in Pylon we moved to the remaining section of Rivermead last year. Would definitely camp there again but would be a bit concerned in a wet year as it must be one of the lowest camping areas on the site. -

Oh gosh, thanks so much for all your replies. This does make me feel a lot better. I took her to ynot festival last year and we had to leave early because everything was on top of each other. If you stood half way back from one stage (still too loud) you'd just hear an utter mess of noise from all the other stages & there was no where to 'get back' if that makes sense? I've been to lots of other festivals before, but none as big as glasto, so yes, this trolley design is going to have to be epic & fit every essential for the day🤣😅😅😅. Thanks again 😄
