Amazon have some wrist bands you can add phone number etc on and toddler can wear. Few other festivals I've been to give these out on arrival.

parsonjack Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Email today from Tangerine Fields.....they will be doing extra checks at the gate to TF and have asked for bags to be tagged. We will of course comply, rather than whining about it like it's some sort of human rights issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

___S_o_m_a__ Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Bags are banned. No bags. Bag tags only. Enjoy the walk with all your supplies on your head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superscally Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Seriously. Can anyone explain what the useful purpose of this is? This has been dreamt up by an idiot who can't get a real job and shouts out random sentences in a committee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's essentially so if someone leaves an unattended bag in a queue or a carpark they can simply call the owner and reunite them with the bag, rather than having to clear everyone in a 100m radius in case it's full of semtex and a kilo of nuts and bolts.

It would be better to tell everyone not to do it because if they do, their bag will be put in an idiot bin and when they come to collect it they can have their ticket torn up in front of them.

guypjfreak Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Just take less bags.. I don't really want to be having my name on everything I carry and I won't but my large bags will have a contact number plus guy old son on them.. If it helps with safety then no worries.. On a plus point maybe the festival could take some of the names of the messy buggers that leave all there shit behind.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am Jon Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 (edited) Just made up a bunch of labels for mine, using some battered old pound-land executive tags and a few plastic sleeves (from old Glastonbury Guardian guides). Since we are getting coach I guess there is some use in having labels and they seem to be pushing for it so may as well comply. Only putting name and mobile number though, no need for any extra info.

Watergirl Posted June 15, 2017 Report Share Posted June 15, 2017 Euro shops are good for that sort of thing. Though I found a nice bling one in Penneys. That's pound shops and Primark for you in the U.K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering my mate watched someone put a suitcase down and wander off to the shop in Manchester Piccadilly the day after the arena bombing I'd have to say sadly yeah people just don't think sometimes. In that scenario the police were on it within seconds though (and she got bollocked) *quick edit to say I like the idea of an idiot bin Edited June 15, 2017 by char90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
