Tillie keep trying, they tend to release tickets in blocks, so there may be more. Also, by tomorrow some tickets will be back on sale for those poor gits whose credit cards wouldn't cover the price! I thought I'd missed out on Reading and was very gutted as all my mates managed to get tickets! However, I had a speculative look the following day, and sure enough got a pair of tickets :-)

There will be some more going on sale on 22nd April (check the date and time on Glastonbury website) - all those people with declined debit cards, duplicate purchases, etc etc.


Also, if you opt for the 'coach and Glasto' package, you probably stand a much higher chance: thare were 25,000 of those guaranteed, and most people don't want the coach.

If that is motivation for your teenager to leave home, it may indeed be a good thing. My neighbours teenager has not gotten out of bed since leaving Dulwich College last summer. He will not even open the front door to the dog walker.


Teenagers of today, they get too much if you ask me!


How old does Max have to be before I can get him a paper round or send him up a chimney?

I think that the chimney cleaning age is now set at 7 years old as long as it "work experience" and results in a project report. The same is true for loom cleaning and match box manufacture. Not sure about boot-black making, might be subject to different rules.

And Tillie, for future years, why not recommend that they apply to be an Oxfam volunteer at the festival (this one or the many others that Oxfam works with)? Too late for this year for Glasto, but this kills so many birds with one stone, viz


- introduces them to the concept of work


- makes money for the charity (which gets around ?200 per volunteer)


- often allows them to work with their friends (same shifts)


- means you don't have to pay for a ticket for them, or for transport, and they get fed and have *exclusive* volunteer facilities (ha!)


- they are out of your hair


and so on. Why not suggest, indeed, that they apply to volunteer at a different festival? (Some still open for volunteer applications this year e.g. Glade.) You know it makes sense!

Sounds like a very good idea Lou and very grateful that you have thought about my predicament...unfortunately, like most teenagers, she wouldnt dream of getting her hands dirty. This would have been her 3rd year at Glasto already and like most of us she is fully into the laid backness that is Glasto. Will defo be trying again on the 22nd.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
