Whats Changed?

[Calvin Klein]

FWIW i thought that the toilets improved A LOT from 2013 to 2014.

[musky]

I'm impressed with your memory Scottie. All that stuff seems a blur to me!

Same actually. Although might be that we were camped further out. The composters are so much better though.

[mr gumby]

I'm not showing this as an explanation to anything, but talk of the old tipi field reminded me of this old pic. Yours truly in said field in 2000. Note the daft hat and two litre bottle of cider, de rigeur in days of yore.

I'd like to make a complaint under the trade descriptions act. I accept that was taken 14 years ago, and perhaps things change, but you're not fat, and you're definitely not a yeti!

He's a bit fatter now, but has even less hair!

[UEF]

The compost toilets are particularly good - helped in no small part by the fact that inexplicably, no bugger will use them.

I keep forgetting to take compost in with me and there seem to be plenty other people that are equally stupid so for me they are not always the best. If idiots like me would remember how to use them properly though they'd be quite good.

I don't have that problem so much as forgetting to NOT throw the cup in afterwards.

Though I did give the evil eye to a hipster girl who was too posh to scoop up some compost to take in this year.

ah, you're on a sticky wicket there, you'd have to prove what a yeti looks like. Given that fatyeti24 is 8 feet tall, a potential missing link and exceptionally strong, I'm not going to do anything to rile him.....

I often found there were no cups to scoop with and didn't always have one with me.

Are you supposed to put compost after both "kinds"? Or just number two?

No idea. You probably should use a urinal or sheepee for pissing surely?

Wait... sheepees have cubicles?

[Zoo Music Girl]

I can't use a sheepee. I'd often wee in the compost loos because they're nicer. And less queues.

Sorry Russy.

[5co77ie]

I'm not sure what this means - could you explain?

It used to be just full of people who were characters, those who lived in tipis, the sweat lodge was the main part of it for me - now it's also full of families with children called Xanthe, Jasper, Constance, and the like, who aren't there most of the day and it's quieter and less 'lived in' these days. I guess that's what I mean - that seemed to change when it moved out of it's old home - it also seems to now rarely attract people with daft hats and two litre bottles of cider. And I hate to say it but compare the crowd in and around the Bimble Inn at say Beautiful Days to those at Glastonbury - and it shows that it's a different world now.

Isn't that just the rent a tipi bit? You've got the actual tipi dewellers to the right of it, just by the Stone Circle entrace? (Actually I think we've sort of had this dicussion before )

Maybe she was only doing a number 1? I think compost is only required for number 2s, according to signage.

[russycarps]

Hipsters always go for number 2s. Always.

Filthy animals.

we have - and I still say the tipi dwellers aren't all tipi dwellers like they were back in the day

[Moon Monkey]

It's getting worse each year, loosing it's soul to the mainstream

[jeffie]

It's just rubbish. Don't even bother.

Edit: hold on I've got a ticket. You'll love it!

One time, at band camp, I loosed my sole to the Sodastream. Dandelion & Burdock. Totally worth it as I had plenty of pears.

You're quite right - they started renting a few out as early as '04 or '05

I think 5co77ie said it pretty well. There is another change - the crowd is much er... 'better off'. The swathes of luxury camping options have attracted much of the crowd that used to sneer at festivals and with them has come more mindlessness - much more chatting while acts are on in crowds and a bit less friendly tbh

Plus there are no longer fires in the pyramid field. Very strange that just flipped off in the past few years
