Default Top 10 tips (read with caution)
Why the hell would anyone follow these? Whilst I do agree with a couple of them, why would anyone pack budgie smugglers?

Ha! Whoever wrote this has obviously never been to a festival! Let alone Glastonbury! I've never not had phone reception! Would be too p***ed/tired to even read the note- if I found it that is! As for no wellies- pht!

Default Re Tips...
Lets go through them one at a time...

No 1, Well I took my Iphone last year and I will this year. Never had any problem with reception at Glaso, mind you I did take a huge 12v leisure batt to keep it charged up while sleeping...

No2, Good Idea if it don't rain, what am I saying of course it won't rain

No3, No thanks I can't swim that well

No4, I'm doinf FD for the first time this year, will I again???

No5, Prob' true. But I never get to see all I hope to.

No6, Hopefully yes, what I don't know.

No7, You're having a laugh! Take them but never use them.

No8, Agree, I burnt my head last year so no repeat this year in the glourous sunshine.

No9, Kids? They wouldn't come if I asked them. Mind you they are all over 30. Perhaps they know something I don't...

No10, Agree, between 6am and 12 noon up at the stone circle.

No11, oh wait there was only 10!

Yes I am getting a bit impatient, only six more sleeps

What a load of crap.

Don't take wellies, seriously? Who doesn't take wellies to a festival? It's like the first thing you put on your packing list!

And this:
DO take a pen and paper
Pens never run out of batteries. And when you get separated from all your friends, you can leave a note in your tent so they know where to find you.



WTF !?!?!

And what are the chances of the note being accurate - your mates would be heading off to find you in shangri-la yet you seem to have found yourself in the rabbit hole instead.

I never end up where I intend to go.

Plus, pens DO run out.

Stupidest thing I've ever read. So your mates are going to go find the tent to see if you've left a note so they can find you again are they? And supposing they did that, the odds that you are still where you said you were when you wrote the note are smaller than the contents of said budgie smugglers on a cold winter's morn. This is such a stupid article one wonders if it's part of a right wing conspiracy to wrong foot us all and make sure we have a really shit time?!
