If the toilets overflow the forecast might be all too accurate.

Good luck to those who's idea of a good time is sitting in a crowded field and lining up for overflowing toilets, but it's not for me. Throw the likelihood of rain and thus mud and you have from my POV a nightmare ! Still obviously enough people enjoy it !

Apparently Bruce Springsteen overran the close down curfew by 9 minutes and therefore the local council have fined the organisers £3,000 which Michael Eavis will pay.

We invite one of the greatest rock bands in the world to play at a reknown festival which must bring money into the coffers of the local council and we treat them like that. Why is it the people in power give the impression that they are mean spirited jobsworths.

Highlights for me were Springsteen, Crosby Stills and Nash, and Neil Young.
