Ladies sometimes hover (why?!?!?) and wee EVERYWHERE. This!!! Someone laughed at me the other day when I said I bring some disposable gloves so that I can clean if the one I end up in is not up to my standards but they also admitted they'd be happy to follow me into a toilet. I genuinely don't understand why people don't clean up after themselves. Cleaning piss and shit is never a pleasant job but it's better if it's just your own you are dealing with. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balti-pie Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 I have a policy of leaving the toilet in a nicer state than I found it. I’ll get in, give it a spruce if required before getting down to business, and then I’ll have another clean where required and it’ll be perfect upon disembarkment. So your best big tactic is to follow me everywhere and synchronise to my poop schedule ?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmmmloddy Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 I'm glad this particular 'hack' continues to fuel conversation. I concede that not all ladies turn the long drop into a palace on every visit (and the hovering thing irritates me just as much as men that can't control their stream). It's more of a 'on balance' point of view. Also, in the heat of the moment you might not be lucky enough to find a friendly bloke exiting the stall with a bog roll in his hand and a spring in his step. The truth is, all genders are capable of some nasty toilet behaviours so a bit of luck and bit of strategy might just help you avoid the worst of it. Also, if you've got or made a safe space in there, maybe let the poor folk who are queuing know that it's decent once you're leaving. Looking forward to be judged by you lot every time I leave a longdrop now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uscore Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 Good toilet etiquette appears to be the same as leaving your campsite tidy; everyone says they do , and that they are appalled at others' behaviours, but the evidence is there for all to see. It's like how no-one admits to voting Tory. There's probably some correlation between all these groups too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gratefulbread Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 Bloody seat soiling, tent abandoning tories. They probably carry flags to the main stages as well. C****. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloseph Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 Maybe I just don't have high standards or I've been incredibly lucky but I can't recall having to use a toilet that was in a horrid state at Glastonbury I've seen them, they're grim, but then I turn around and find a different stall, there's always one a few doors down that isn't decimated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MetaKate Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 I think that theres 2 types of people in the world. The first are the kind that are okay with making a mess of a toilet seat and leaving it for the next person and the second are the type that spend hours obsessively reading a forum about a festival. You can't be both. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chazwwe Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 I feel like we need a thread during festival time for toilet watch, 7-9am and we all let each other know where the best/cleaner ones are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbferb Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 I pre mix bloody mary mix into a 5L empty plastic water bottle so we have perfectly spiced BM's for the mornings to wake us all up and kick start the day!

sophiemarie Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 Emergency foil blankets — when attached to the outside of your tent — can keep you relatively cool as the morning heats up. (Helpful if you're trying to sleep in.) However, they're really tricky to duct-tape to your tent. Our neighbours used clothesline pegs, which worked a treat. My #1 tip is to bring a folding fan (like this, for example). Absolute godsend! You will notice people trying to dance near you, trying get some of that sweet second-hand fan action. Mine was eventually knicked by a performer at NYC Downlow (fair play to them — it was sweltering in there). This year I'm bringing spares to hand out, like a folding fan easter bunny. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before I got my blackout tent I had used one of these type of blankets. Less rustling than the fool ones and as it has the eyelets I attached some cord and tent peg it to ground to make it easier to attach to tent Edited May 14, 2019 by dondo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place I have come across bloody mary's is the bar just up behind the ribbon tower at the park stage...no idea what its called?! its kinda opposite the entrance to the rabbit hole. But they were about £8 each if I remember correctly! the pre mixed idea works really well and it does keep perfectly all weekend...I mix together 'big tom' juice, clamato juice, tabasco, worcestershire sauce, grated horseradish, celery salt, salt & pepper, lemon juice. then add your vodka when mixing fresh on the morning as I would imagine it going a bit grim with the vodka pre mixed?!

The Nal Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 No issue with the amount of booze. You could roll up to the gate in one of these and they've wave you through. "Any glass?" "Nah" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
