except at Glastonbury where you're a freeloader, no different to how a billionaire is a freeloader.

Volunteers aren't freeloaders. 

Skip I don't know why you keep coming back for abuse from Neil Fish and his brother Barry.

That'd be a "freeloader" who has spent about 15 years doing shifts for Green Traffic control, including some of the most intense stewarding shifts on site. Shifts that prevent people being seriously injured by on-site traffic.

A "freeloader" who has spent weeks painting the longdrops.

A "freeloader" who took part in the best post festival clear-up ever, according to Michael Eavis, and including working on site until the end of August.

A "freeloader" who did round about double their expected hours as C&T crew without asking for or expecting any reward. The fact that Arabella Churchill decided to compensate me wasn't my decision.

A "freeloader" who has do additional site crew work for no more than a few meals.

 

first time you've posted about some input and not just taking for nothing.

Thanks for this, makes me happy that some understand and appreciate

Maybe I should post in the Glastonbury stories topic about some of my experiences and instances where I went above and beyond the expected and used my initiative to resolve potentially deadly events occurring.

a freeloader who only posts about his freeloading not his working. never seen him post about working until just now.

[Skip997]

I have to wonder why the Green Fields bosses keep inviting me back.

I have to wonder why I'm one of the first on the list for the Dragon Field crew.

Real mystery that!
