what dont you like about glasto?

[BlackHole2006]

I noticed it really started to lose its edge in 2008

[Ed209]

its attitudes like that as why its all going down the shitter.

Blackhole, you are essentially the reason why glastonbury is not as good as it used to be

hmmmm it's not exactly Glasto but related as its part of the course to get there

I don't like the travelling down/travelling back and the lugging all my junk from the car/dropoff point!!!!! I still do it..but dont like it

[Freewheelin]

Be nice if more people made it a bit more effort to put their rubbish in (or least near) the bins,

Monday morning is the worst.

Not just the hangover and the trip home.

We left late last year and seeing nearly a quarter of the tents left behind and abandoned really shocked me.

The paranoid feeling that they are having a much better time on the other side of the site.

also ..im not surprised /./have you seen

pick up some free gear..its all left! people get beers/tents/spirits etc

I woukd..but no car so cant really take anytihng else

My mate collects the tents. Obviously he's restricted in what he can take because he takes a load of passengers but he still manages to collect one or two tents per fest. He obviously doesn't need them all but as he says himself he's got a bit of a tent fetish thing going on!

It's just amazing looking at the good kit that's left behind. Might collect a tent or two myself next fest. Although as I already have a 3 man and a 4 man it would seem unecessary. Maybe I'll get some other camping stuff I haven't got instead. It'll be like walking into a camping shop where the staff have all upped and left!

People who tape off "their area".....and on that theme... People who sigh or tut loudly because you walk past their tent.

Trendy young girls who look panic stricken if you talk to them. I think it must be because having a conversation with anyone over 30 is ruining their "look".

[markeee]

How did I forget the taped off areas. Really super annoying that is. To be demolished at night in a drunken marauding stupor.

Like the comment about the trendy young girls. Haven't tried it myself. May well try it as a sort of baiting sport next Glasto. I'm 47 - they'll shit themselves if I start talking to them! lol

[gooner1990]

and spare booze...well no question

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

I don't remember seeing any taped off areas last year , im sure there were loads..pretty sad really

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

Saw one guy with some sort of trolley device collecting stray cans from campsites on the monday in 2010. I gave him the 2 cans of VERY warm Strongbow I had left, to add to the 200 or so he already had in his trolley, said he had only been wandering around for about 2 hours at that point!

[gooner1990]

Must have been torture though lugging that trolley around with that kind of weight on it. Fair play to him though.

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

IIRC he had been working on one of the stalls so I'm guessing he had transportation on site rather than in the normal car parks.

Those people who do the clearing up must find some real gems - if you know what I mean.

[gooner1990]

Imagine having an empty van on site for example and just spending the day loading it up with beer and quality camping gear. That appeals to the magpie in me. However, come Monday morning all I want is to be teletransported home and have phychiatrists at my beck and call to help me deal with the approach of Suicide Tuesday!

The slightly sad feeling I get on Sunday because I know it's the last day.

That my knees don't stand up to it as well as they used to. I don't want to pace myself - It's GLASTONBURY!!!

Definitely the journey from and to the car with all your stuff, the rain, the mud, the rubbish.

I like loads of music though - almost anything. I like more and more stuff as I get older instead of less and less. It almost makes up for the knees.
