Rumblestripe Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 On the "Wet Wipes" v Bogroll debate. These are what you need Other brands are available but notice the little symbol at top left "flushable" that means they can go down all loos composting, long drop or otherwise and they will break up and not clog the plumbing. A fresh clean arse is a wonderfully relaxing thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, if you do this then you should be really careful what you bring/use and where. Proper toilet paper is designed to break down so that it doesn't bugger up plumbing systems (such as sticking to the insides when wet). Most versions of Wet Wipes, Kleenex etc don't break down anywhere near as easily, and so can can and do cause clogging issues in the Flushing Toilets on site - this happens pretty much every year without fail. Even in the long drops there's still "plumbing" systems of sorts (ie the trucks that empty them) and I suspect if enough people filled them with Kleenex/Wet Wipes then the same issues would happen there.. Don't know whether there's any issue with composting toilets or not. Pre-packaged tissues are definitely convenient, but are only a good idea when they're specifically designed to break down (some are but not many - check the packaging before buying/bringing). Thanks for this reply. I've always used plain travel tissues (not the ones with moisturiser) as I've valued them for being compact and waterproof, but this is definite food for thought. I know wet wipes don't work well with plumbing, but I'd always assumed plain tissues were fine. I'll be paying a little bit more attention in future.

I queued for Paella and grande bouffe and both were very much worth it! Also any queue at the cider bus on Wednesday is worth it! I had a few nice little chat with others in the queue and soaked in the sun. Also, queue for the longdrops if required, better than pissing on the floor!

not worthy Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 I'll pay more attention too. I one used some of those olbas oil ones by mistake and ended up feeling rather more refreshed than I'd anticipated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're absolutely right here, Calgon. I'm firmly behind you on this. Not in a queue, I hasten to add, just supporting you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 Precisely. No Glasto is complete without a tartiflette, but if there's a queue at LGB just swing by at some later juncture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with this. The best thing you can do to stop yourself getting plastered too soon is to drink some water or a fizzy drink and have regular snacks inbetween watching bands.

Mardy Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 I'll give my best bit of advice, don't listen these weazels above, the best thing at Le Grand Bouffe has nothing to do with potatoes or sausage, it's the crepe with cheese, ham, garlic, and mushrooms.

If there's a queue at grand bouffe, nip to the tapas next door (if you're in West holts) and get grand bouffe later when there's no queue. I have a counter piece of advice - don't plan to "get something later". Do it now, or don't bother. I thought I would get Grand Boffee later last time I was at the festival. I've still never tasted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted January 19, 2016 Report Share Posted January 19, 2016 It's not bad as these sort of things go, but I wouldn't say that it's worth missing 15 minutes of the festival to queue up for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
