Keef my dear chap.. as a Reading (*bleuuughhh*) ticket-holder, you must be enlightened as to the true nature of Glasto.

Forget who's on the main stages, I say! Mooch around the small tents to seek-out those little nuggets of joy and quirk. That Ukelele band doing Oasis covers! A bit of Cuban ska! Tony Benn holding sway with a tent full of people who clearly haven't slept for three days! People dangling heavy weight from their genitals - for your pleasure! It's all there.

As someone who has been "enlightened" a couple of times in my life, I'm not a huge fan of the whole dirty smelly experience.... I also think "Glasto" is the most pretentious festival of the lot. Going to Reading because I like 2 bands on the line-up, but a big bunch of us are going to spend the weekend absolutely off our trollies... Too be honest though, I'd rather watch a band I like in a little indoor venue with a bar...

;-) Tuche. Funnily enough, the vast majority of the CPT staff are in our Reading party...


Have you ever heard of the Ashton Court Festival in Bristol? Thats a lovely little festival with local bands and things going on.

Have to agree about the Latitude line-up


Would recommend the End of The Road festival in Sep as well


But having done all of the big festivals nothing but nothing compares to Glastonbury. "It's not about the bands" is a cliche but really is true..


*Bob* loses points however for calling it a weekend tho.. As IF. It's a whole week or nothin


Newsflash. Tickets arrived today - bonus points!

I have to agree with some of the posts here about glastonbury - the loos are awful and I found it a bit big but the atmosphere is fab and I did get engaged there so it has a special place in my heart.

Mr Cupcake organised his own festival last year - Chickenstock which was a very small festival of 20 people. The food was good and we had a good old fashioned sing song!

I'm looking forward to Chas and Dave. Really.

Ah yes, the windsock is the major 'things' thing. Thought it would be a bit of fun, as well as being a way of finding the damned tent. And it was the chili that swung it.


The pillows are more 'we are always carting around our house pillows to festivals (heavy/big to carry)' or 'we never get a good night's sleep owing to no pillows' (cycle camping, with clothes stuffed under head), and trying to resolve that once and for all, so that we have useful camping gear that is small and light and bike-friendly - important when you do a fair amount of camping throughout the year.


The tent in a 2-man (mini!), so we're going pretty minimal otherwise.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
