This guy is clearly a troll

This has to be a WUM. Otherwise an inconsiderate moron. It's like someone has created a parody of the kind of Glastonbury attendee that would rile up the regulars on here

The fields are for camping, not stage viewing. The benches are in the stage viewing area, or were this year. Fully within your rights to stand on them to view the stage assuming rhat all there was behind you were people sat in their tents wAnting to see the stage? If people were just stood behind you watching like you were, then yes, its a bit off and id be fucked off too

Standing on a bench? Perfect height for some rimming.

I think I saw people stood on benches at the Stones but there was just a big space behind so assuming it's not the same group.

To be fair, where we were (right at the back) it wasn't so busy that you couldn't move to avoid said bench people, just depends where you were I guess

Well I maintain that the phrase that pays in this instance is first come first served.

If you sit on the benches then all ya staring at are the backs of standing people.

Is anyone seriously suggesting that if we had left the benches vacant noone else would have grabbed the opportunity for a better view?

I agree with the Glasto be tolerant spirit but there is a time & a place.

Two Glastos in a row we have been pitched at the edge of the Pyramid field next to one of those wooden benches.

Two Glastos in a row we have got up on the benches to get a better view...we also had small children in our group so it was great for them.

Two Glastos in a row people behind have asked us to get down coz they can't see.

We didn't on the basis that it's Glasto FFS. Half the people in the field didn't have a good view. Move to another location. If we weren't standing on the benches someone else would be. If ya don't like crowds then bog off.

We assumed the whingers were newby towny types whose idea of a trip to the country is an afternoon in Regents Park or the like.

Whinge over.
