Substitute for 2017 and I'm bang with you. Was magical!

Mate, I almost cried. No joke.

One of the benefits of going in a motorhome is the shower, our new MH has 2, one inside and one outside, which makes washing mud off easy peasy.

Allergy or not, that stuff makes certain areas very tingly!

indeed  .... the tingly wasn't the allergy though

I seem to remember a standup comedian talking about using this stuff around the 'tradesmans' a few years back, possibly Peter Kay, and described it as 'like leaving the windows open on your a*se'.

best avoided ...

What is this “mud” you speak of? Is it when too much Mallet’s cider falls on the bone dry dirt in the scorching sun?

I was more surprised than anything else.  It sounds absolutely stupid now (and it did then to be honest) but in my head the Greenpeace showers were going to be cubicles rather than a big communal thing. So I went in, came round the corner and my first overriding thought was "wow, that's a lot of penises"  ?

Not a shock in itself as 30 odd years of team sport kind of make you immune to it, but when you're not expecting it...

 . I shower for 51 weeks a year,

Is that a world record? 

Not read whole thread.

I shower but am in T@c backstage bit. Tis lovely to have a shower.

Also what is with all this wet wipe. Are they not evil and full of plastic. Even the biodegradable are full of the tiny beads. 

Massive use of single use plastic right there

To be (somewhat) fair to the wet wipe posters, this is a thread from 2014 that got bumped

Well, if you ever get around to writing that Glastonbury memoir, at least you have a title for it

I had not noticed that. Different times I guess

I've never showered at a festival, never felt the need to and I think I'm going to keep it that way, for fear it becomes a necessity.

With such a title it would definitely outsell the Michael and Emily book

Only used the showers once. Accidentally pissed myself on the Thursday and realised I couldn’t really wait until Monday to have a wash.

It was quite nice really.

It wasn't something I had planned on, but now I feel like not doing it would be a waste of a good title

Ha this tickled me. Unrelated note I saw Emily liked your tweet the other day. Hope she took note of your IP address for resale to get you a place on the farm!

Thanks ... hoping so to ... at least they know who I am now  and I’m sure I will be making the odd trip to the farm between now and June  ... I’m told she doesn’t like many random tweets

Yes sorry, must have been thinking about a different festival
