No more Brothers Cider at Glastonbury?

They should have have a 5 quid deposit on the plastic bottle or you can bring your own. The mountain of paper cups they used last year probably eclipsed any good they tried to do buy banning the bottles.
This thread has reminded me of just how many thoughtless cunts there are at Glastonbury
 
It'll be too hot for that to sell very well this year ... :p ;)

To be fair, it saved my life last year (and previous mudbath festivals/very chilly night festivals in dry years). For this lifesaving reasoon, the Hot and Spicey is a grand drink ...

I was really enjoying that until El Jugs said it looked and smelled like I was holding a pint of steaming piss. :(

True, but the deposit on a bottle thing could be a workable plan if done right.

Also the deposit on paper cups idea -- like 10 p or something .... they do similar at Roskilde (?) I believe.

Think of the blagging opportunities too, when stoned pissheads wander off 'forgetting' their valuable artefacts!! CLEAN FIELDS!! :D

Why is William only wearing one shoe? :eek: :D

P.S. the deposits on bottles seems like a mighty fine idea and not even a new one. The Rolling Stones gave out free LPs to anyone who handed in a full bag of rubbish when they played Hyde Park in 1969-ish.
 
No Brothers Bar at Glastonbury??? Even happier not to be going now. That place was always my first stop at Glastonbury to get tanked up on 8% Perry, then stumble round falling over tent pegs getting into the festie mood. Was equally pissed off that the Grog shop in Oxford no longer fills plastic containers with scrumpy.
That warm spicy cider they sell at the cider bus is rank on a hot summers day, saved my life on a very skint festival though - I just wandered round drinking the almost full pints that people were giving up on. Revolting, but free.
 
dour was amazing last year. 1 pint for every 20 plastic cups you handed in. we spent no more than an hour on sunday afternoon going around picking up around 300 cups then the token girl was laughing at us for being so fucked and english and gave us double tokens! got about 6/7 pints each! if glastonbury did something similar it would have a profound effect on the environment.
 
You get a lot of that at festivals abroad - Cactus Festival in Bruges gives a fraction of a Euro for each cup, so you end up with gangs of small children staring at you whilst you swig your drink, waiting to pounce :D Means the place is immaculate, though.

Cider Bus and Brothers Bar will both still be there as normal ...
 
Oops, don't think I read the article at the start either. Too much cider last night :D Saw a cider thread and got into cider reminisance mode.

This.

I remember sitting at the very top of the stone circle field last year and looking out over the sea of crap people had left there and feeling rather fucked off with it all :(

I don't even drop my fag ends at glasto (or any other outdoor space for that matter) I stub them out on my boot and pocket the filter until I can find a bin.

People that leave litter get right on my tits :mad:

yeah I was there n all. Despite the fact that I was completely and utterly cunted I was having a moment of total clarity over what was in front of me - a lot of silly inconsiderate nobheads who don't want to know about the impact their actions have on the world around them and think they don't need to 'cos there'll be some less fortunate sod along later to tidy up after them.

Wankers.

Still going this year mind :p
 
And don't even get me started on all the fucking nitrous bottles everywhere :mad:

One festival I went to last year actually had a seperate recycling bin specifically for nitrous chargers, I think it was Waveform but my memory is not what is used to be.:(
 
As a regular cider drinker (don't drink beer and live in the west country) i was gutted they'd stopped selling burrow hill at all the beer tents and replaced it with brothers (which is made from imported juice concentrate). Had to plan my entire festival around trips to the cider bus to get decent cider, right hassle. If i get in this year i'll be taking a few flagons of my own cider from last year.

*dons chunky jumps and chomps on pipe*
