Handing out free water to kids who earn 10 times more than you is possibly very rewarding?

To be fair, Glastonbury is seriously well planned and giving the local Walts some cases of water and asking them to go and stand well away from everything and randomly hand it out to people who didn't need it was probably deemed the cheapest and most efficient solution to keeping them occupied?
Walteraid surely?

I hope they were wearing PPE, that's pretty concentrated stuff.

Given the rather anodyne lineup at this year's Glastonbury, would it not be preferable if the jeep-botherers delivered Canned Heat to those queuing in 27 degree water?

What on earth is a 'forest based Celebrant'?

Radagast the Brown perhaps?

They do ceremonies etc but have no legal standing. She's probably something like a Pagan. Wears a crown of thorns on her head.

I should point out that in this context "the forest" is the Forest of Dean, so it doesn't just mean a woman who lives in the woods.

I live in that in between being DEPLOYED to MAJOR EVENTS.

I slumber inside, with one eye open.

Like a coiled spring.

At an EVENT the lid is released and I pop up like a high-viz Jack in a Box.
