One Swiss dinosaur in Polly Gosling's anorak hood
As well as the relatively small number, I was especially surprised to see almost no political dioramas this year. Usually you could expect at least one member of the cabinet being ridiculed via the medium of parsnips and punnery but I was left wanting. I seem to remember 2019 being fairly sparse in this regard as well but I'll need to consult my photos to confirm.
I wasn't there for very long (wilting in the sun) but there seemed to be fewer people there today than I was expecting, did it busy up any later in the afternoon...? I did wonder if the weather had put people off.

Oops just seen this!
It was lovely to see you!
Yes I think the circle of trees towards the bottom of the hill between the lido and the HH exit is a really good place for shade, so we spent a few hours there.
Will probably head for there during the hot part of the day.
Nice vibe yesterday I thought! Pretty chilled and friendly, not rammed like sardines.
Gonna go as soon as it opens today to check out all the rural sh*t

We were allowed to bring filled water bottles in (and yes there are refilling stations) and also cartons of drink and snacks. Just no booze/open containers that could be booze.
I don’t know if it was coincidental but the crowd there looked a bit more like the crowd of old compared to the first couple of years after the fence and strict security.

Did anyone see if all the main toilets outside the LCS were still open as usual? I’m sure I have a memory of them being closed on previous occasions when there was an event happening.
Today I'm only going to see Horace Andy at 6.30 sans kids.

I dont like to whinge about the heat (ill miss it when its gone) but yesterday I could only manage to sit in the shade so basically didn't see anything. With the music traditionally much better today I'm hoping for a good knees up at the main stage. Hoping for some clouds!

There is loads of well stocked portaloos by the entrances if that helps.

I've posted up some pics of the vegetable sculptures so you can decide whether it's worth the wait in the heat

I think I may go in. Planning to drink my beer, eat three cookies and, smoke my two spliffs then hide my weed stash outside the fence for later. Then put on normal face and go in.

Didn't feel as busy as other years. the entry via security was pretty robust, did that put alot of people off or was it the heat?

We had a superb afternoon there yesterday. The atmosphere was great. Horace Andy was amazing to round off the whole thing.
The only issue is that I had some fairly aggressive D&V in the night. I started feeling unwell around 7pm. Could be the heat.... The only other things I consumed were 2 pints of Chucklehead and several big cups of water from the tanks.
I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has tales of intestinal unpleasantness or whether it was just me reacting weirdly to something.

Well I have to say, I went both days, and I thought it was pretty bloody lovely.
Yes, it's disappointing that you're not officially allowed to take booze in (though obv some people managed it).
But apart from that it's still free (thank fuck, and I hope it always stays that way) very diverse in terms of community representation, and the programme of stuff on was great.
Nothing is ever as it used to be. That's the nature of everything, the law of the universe.
It's changed, it's not the same as when I used to go 20+ years ago but overall it's still good, imo.

Combo of both for me. Wasn't going to be there for long because of the heat. And the thought of security faff turned me off just wandering in and out for short visits as I often do. Mostly the heat with a dog and a 5-year old though. I was quite happy dozing on the trampoline at home.

Did anyone find a place that was returning your cup deposit? i was told by several bar staff that there was no refund for the extra money they charge you as mandatory for the already very expensive (£6.50) pint.

There wasn’t one,despite staff telling people that it was a returnable deposit
