Crazyfool01 Posted December 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 I was lucky enough to share a table with Michael at a local rotary club function in 2014 / question and answer session , they put me and my friend on the same table as I sounded nice on the phone ? and Emily in oct last year for another question and answer session , oh and I leaned in Michaels landcover during the festival one year and said i was having a welly good festival ... can't remember the year .. but unfortunately I can remember the dodgy joke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardWaller Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 I met Michael in 2003, was stood in the lost property queue, he seemed a bit upset about the size of the queue so stopped for a little chat with a couple of people. I was a bit starstruck so didn't say owt, but woman in front thanked him for the festival and they were both quite moved... Actually got the phone I lost back in the post a couple of weeks later. It was buggered mind, but how amazing that someone actually found it and posted it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyfool01 Posted December 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 I was amazed how genuine Michael was when he asked about our thoughts on the festival ( he didn't have to ask , or even care ) .... we told him never to change the lack of rules about taking alcohol in .... but he was genuinely interested and thanked us for attending, lovely guy .

I'd won a raffle, there was very little prizes left, so for giggles I selected the trout as it struck me as the most amusing of the remaining prizes. Michael seemed impressed by my choice. It wasn't until I got back to my seat that I remembered I'm vegetarian. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartbert two hats Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 I had a chat with Emily on the Thursday in 2007 in The Park for about 5 or 10 minutes. She said at the time about her eventual takeover, but that at the time her Dad was definitely the boss. Obviously it's quite a white ago, but I particularly remember at one point discussing how the place had grown and become all consuming and she said something along the lines of "and now it's turned into *gestures generally at the zillions of tents*... this" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avalon_Fields Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Some of us up at Green Futures meeting Michael a few years back. The only time I've seen Emily was at the front of West Holts, I really wanted to say hello but bottled it. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parsonjack Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Met Michael several times at the festival, Pilton WMC gigs, the odd country fair he opens and at the Foo's gig in Frome. Met Emily in Frome once when she said hello to our dog (sadly now departed in August this year ?). Emily was in my wife's shop in Frome only last week...I asked my wife whether they conversed and my wife told me she 'got her against a rail of clothes by the neck and said 'Give us some tickets you b*tch!'. Nice. She didn't...obvs....the wife that is.....or Emily ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayrshire Chris Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 I was in pilton in the summer this year and he passed me in his land rover in bread street. We waved and he waved back. We were star struck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneCircle Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 I met him earlier this year in Newlyn, he has a holiday cottage there so he is a frequent visitor to West Cornwall. I live in nearby St Just, (as does his eldest daughter who owns Worthy Cheddar, and we share the same postcode) where he visits the Methodist church.

fatyeti24 Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 I met him in the Cuban tent in Glasto Latino in 2015. I gave him a glow stick, which appeared to confuse him. He thanked me for coming to the festival, which I appreciated and which shows he's a man with his priorities in check. I got a little video before I built up the courage to speak to him. It was about 1am, and he seemed to be having a great time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
