They do tend to be all posh, apart from the toilet facilities.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Re: Busy, busy, busy (4.00 / 2)

I have only had experience of WOMAD and Cambridge in the last decade or so and it's all very middle class, middle aged and highly civilised.

I just can't imagine going to the shit-heaps I attended in my youth, especially now I've lost the piss-against-the fence equipment.

Re: Busy, busy, busy (none / 0)

I've never made any of the club events at WOMAD, largely cos I've never known where they were (this was very bad at Reading where some events seemed to take place on Platform 9 & 3/4). Last year the mud transcended curiosity.

It all depends how I feel after I've made all the trips from the car park to where my pitch will be. usually at that point food, beer, catching up with friends (we only meet at WOMAD these days so lot's of chat) and meeting the new little 'uns takes precedence.
