Troop Dogg Posted April 10, 2022 Report Share Posted April 10, 2022 Posting purely cos I'm bored out of my brains in covid isolation (day 12 and counting...), and was thinking about what used to happen at Glasto that you don't see any more? I'll get the ball rolling with: * Queueing up at the Natwest bank by the farmhouse to withdraw cash with your cheque book. What ya got?

BreadMakesYouFat? Posted April 10, 2022 Report Share Posted April 10, 2022 I haven't heard the random cheers that go around the campsites on Wednesday afternoon/evening in years. Do they still happen? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they still happen? I've not heard that in years either, the roar of 'BOLLOCKS!' booming across the whole site is something I feel great nostalgia for! I think there is so much late night entertainment options these days that people have probably got better things to be doing sadly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogeggs Posted April 10, 2022 Report Share Posted April 10, 2022 Didnt there used to be a hefty pile of (presumably free) firewood logs stashed at the side of the railway track - that everyone used to help themselves to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
