2005. Was great and then turned into a disaster.

This year is going to be a disaster too. I know, it, you know it and Eavis knows it. Big thunderstorm, site gets flooded, we all churn up the site and we're fucked.

Get out.

I think a light morning rain wouldn't be too bad, stop by mid day ish on one of the days. It won't flood.

You remember how in about 2007 they spent 750 grand on improving drainage and you're talking utter shite?

Thats a myth. It was still a mudbath for parts of 2009 and 2011. There just wasn't the same amount of rain. You're kidding yourself. Time to live in the real world. The fact that the weather has been nice is a bad thing. It simply can't last.

Its going to be awful. Hailstones the size of snooker balls, swirling gusts of unforgiving wind, relentless rain, winged serpents descending from the skies and snatching folk away like subbuteo men, the ground opening up like The Great Pit of Carkoon with loved ones dropping into the bleak darkness forever, widespread fires, swarms of locusts hollowing through peoples eye sockets, Bryan Ferry playing on the West Holts. Really, really bad.

Didn't accidentally put acid in your corn flakes this morning did you?

I think we're talking a different scale of mudbath tbh. Maybe a couple of acres got that bad (crossing into Dance from camping, path through Park...) but the rest was hunky dory

If noone's using a canoe it's not really wet

      One thing that Burnham has been talking about is scrapping inheritance tax and replace it with a social care levy ... which would be less progressive, but might be a good idea if was a solution for the social care crisis. Would need to sell it well to a public who would prefer not to pay more tax.

      Maybe you should put your name forward to be Burnham's chancellor.

      But I think the point of that Dan Needle tax thing...we need to put up income tax, for all incomes (and thresholds should be unfrozen).

      There are no easy answers...more than anything we need growth...and probably main ways of getting that is borrowing more to invest in stuff that makes us super sexy, and/or cut taxes on business and wealth generation which would mean less money to spend on public services and welfare and would obviously be super unpopular and get you chucked out of govt. On top of all that got an aging population, a growing welfare bill, a call for higher spending on defence, housing inequality, higher borrowing costs, and probably a load more sh*t on the way due to the Iran war (although so far it hasn't been that bad?)
