The capitalists have co-opted it. They always do that to everything.

They always had the long drops. By the end of the week they're pretty disgusting.

But the portaloos when it's hot are just poo saunas.

I've not been back since 2013 so I've not seen the composters there but I've seen them at other festivals and they're delightful. Relatively speaking.

I knew a hippie who used to do litter picking at Glastonbury. He said that on top of being paid for the job he'd find lots of cannabis and money.

Me neither. I used to go to the free concerts in Weston Park in Sheffield. Peter Green played there once. And one time the hippies caught a skinhead, tied him to a flagpole, and hoisted his boots up to the top of the pole. He looked very cross.

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=peacunt

Today I learned from this link that the female peacock's name in English is a peahen :D And I always called them just peacunts for fun :twisted: In Polish the name for a peacock is paw and its female version is pawica :D My neighbors' last name is Paw. In Polish there is such a slang vulgar version for vomiting - it's literally "releasing the peacock".
