Some personal observations about this year

[dub-tech]

I saw a lot of undercovers getting out of a marked police van up in pennards - I was pretty surprised how much they had dressed up. Face paint etc. good effort

[Miathedog]

I seen an abandoned car battery on the diagonal path cutting through Pennards on Monday afternoon. I hope that wasn't yours.

We were camped in Cockmill and have never left anything behind us in 7 Glastonbury's but thanks for your concern

The pink jacket lot are just any old thuggy type though. Lots are registered bouncers etc, no huge surprise. The police think they're funny

[CCCheese]

I think frosty was suggesting that the police think the pink jacket security are funny, rather than the police thinking they (the police) are funny.

Although having seen some of you dancing… ;-)

We get this every year, yet the numbers stay the same....

I can't explain it, as I don't think we did anything particularly different this year compared to previous...

I have to say that I thought the Police presence this year was very subtle indeed. I obviously can't speak for everyone, but the Police I did see this year seemed to be pretty chilled out and friendly.

They were lovely. They let me stroke their massive horses.

No innuendo intended.

I was drunk and told a mounted police officer that next year they should ditch the horses and ride lions instead cos they'd look more badass. He laughed.

I stand by my suggestion though.

[frostypaw]

it's not true.

[funksoulfever]

The cops giving out water were cool. There was a grouo of good looking policewoman who had a flirt and laugh with us getting some pics pretending to cuff us etc. Made a point of sayingvhello to most. Only one officer was miserable and just grunted at me. The rest very friendly

Sure? This was right from the horse's mouth in a half hour chat. Got a little run down of his career and the works.

He might have been lying but seems odd to

I don't doubt that there's some, but not the "all" that you said.

[frostypaw]

I have three friends who work on the security team and they certainly enjoy as much of the festival as they possibly can.

[Thrash D Garbage]

problem would be stopping them mauling someone everytime they got peckish....

[markeee]

We took a car battery and charged our phones in our tent. Worked a treat! That said I look forward to ignoring Facebook for a few days and don't really do twitter. Just use it for taking pics and checking the news mainly.

I thought the toilets were worse this year but by no means bad.

Found arcadia's new position a let down. Too many people flocked there so you couldn't get near the circle. The problem with putting it there is all the casual tourists go after the headliners so it gets crazy. It was more effort to go there before.

[iloveglasto]

how did you connect phones to a car battery - excuse my ignorance

[Craigston]

hahahah what a bizarre post. you could say that to anyone about any of the rubbish

[eFestivals]

All you need is an inverter with which converts 12v to 240v and a three pin plug. A leisure battery would be battery if going to get a lot of use

PMSL ... talk about making it difficult.

Far easier and cheaper is to attach a fag lighter socket to it, and charge your phones from 12v.

The battery will much last longer too.

[markeee]

i dont have a car or a car battery ..the whole thing sounds quite tricky - how would you swap connectors say you had an iphone and someone else a samsung or 2 types of samsung charges

[dub-tech]

Or just buy an easyacc travel charger for £28. Much, much lighter and lasted the festival for 4 iPhones.
