= 1 lost walkie talkie
how old? by and large when we scoop up kids who've lost their adults phoning the number written on their arm works a treat.

Yes. Given their high standards in that work, I'm amazed they're managing to fit a gig in to be honest.

yes that's why Im not keen on the mobile phone/walkie talkie method of keeping up with him. It'll either end up lost, or down the loo.
He's 10, with an over-inflated sense of what he can & can't do - overly independent, he always has been. He's a great kid, loads of fun, clever & funny. I love him the most when both of his parents are around to keep tabs on him & squash him when necessary.
The office bods seem to think that nailing his feet to the floor would be Bad, so that's plan B out of the window. Im wondering about Night Nurse now! Thats an efficient sedative, I think
I think he'll end up being a walking phone number tbh, seems the safest way. And what's the betting after stressing myself silly about losing him he ends up sticking to me like glue all week...
PS good luck getting him to admit he's lost his adult, he's far more likely to assure you he knows where I am. I assume you don't just take their word for it? (please say 'no'!
)
So much excellence in that lineup but more later etc. etc.
According to this thread in efests, the legend that is Linton Kwesi Johnson will be appearing at the Glade "with Hiatus" -- couldn't see a specific mention of LKJ in the general lineup though .... maybe I missed it ...
Would this be his first ever appearance at the Big G???? x 10,000 ....

that's older than I've ever had reported as a found child. Everybody has antenna for little kids looking lost but by 10 he'd have to be pretty distressed before anyone really noticed him, at least during the day. After dark a 10yo looking lost might get approached by stewards, but I'm a bit doubtful because at that age most kids would probably be mortally offended to be thought of as a lost child. Of course he could ask for help but that's more likely to be the "which way is the Meeting Point" variety than "take me to Welfare".
But yes, at 10 if he was clear he was ok and knew what he was up to I would accept (if not necessarily believe) his word. You're his carer and if you're ok with him being off having adventures on his own (as I would be in your place) it's not up to any steward to tell him heshould go to Welfare for his own good.
The festival is generally a very safe environment, if potentially a little boring for that age group, it's mostly aimed either younger or older, so he may get a bit fed up, and appreciate help finding interesting things to do. Or he may hook up with some others and go feral for a few days
Havng said that, I've taken my own kids there at that age and ime so long as he gets the navigational basics sorted he'll turn up when he's hungry
And he probably won't fancy it after dark, except accompanied to the fire show.

The 70's were a long time ago now mind. I wouldn't be surprised if they've become non-executive directors of their own wholly owned cleaning subsidiary based in the Caymen Islands tbf, given them time to focus on their artistic work.

Its sunny somewhere.
I do see that the one and only band I liked after watching the Main stage continuously for three days at Beautiful Days is 1st up Sunday Morning on the Pyramid Stage.

I think they make most of their money these days from their recycling consultancy practice.

A few years ago me and a biggish group of mates took along the then 10 year old daughter of a friend. She'd been the two previous years, with her mum, so knew her way around. Inevitably she would sneak off and go exploring on her own. One afternoon she showed up back at our campsite followed by two policemen. She wasn't lost, but they'd obviously thought she looked a bit young to be on her own, and followed her back to make sure she was all right. And then one night she got up and went out by herself quite late, and some steward took her to the welfare place, from where I had to retrieve her at around 2am.... it's a pretty safe place really for kids. It's difficult if kids are too old to be "never let out of your sight" but still small enough to worry if they go off exploring for too long. We used walkie-talkies, which worked quite well, although you need a few sets of batteries to last.

Brit Floyd - Acoustic stage Friday evening - they are former members of Australian Pink Floyd Show so should be good -
I last saw TAPFS at Glasto 1998 at the Acoustic stage but it was packed out - they sounded good but did not see any visuals - due to working I could not get there early so cant say how busy it was before they started.
I may try and catch Melanie and a bit of Brit Floyd or vice versa depending on the times .
