Why is this comment downvoted? It is perfectly legitimate. If you disagree with it, post a response, don't just lazily click downvote. This isn't Reddit. Downvoting is for replies that distract from the conversation,…

Question. By "Travellers" do you mean, 'new age travellers' (aka hippies) or the thieving scrotes who live a 'traditional way of life' badly tarmacing driveways? The former still attend Glastonbury for free (they clean…
> you had to pay ..... just to get a bottle of water. The fact that somebody even tried to do this suggests the organisers were dangerous fuckwits. The outcome was unsurprising.

Errrrm.... That's an ordinary 24 hour clock. Rather bizarre to call it "Military" time.
