I knew we'd drink it dry though. Next time they oughta have 4 and 8 pint
flagons for us to buy in bulk. They'd sell more and we wouldn't have to
keep moving between the stages and the real ale tent.

I saw one guy busted at the gates for some kinda stash. They offered "we
confiscate or we call the cops and they confiscate - you choose..." He
made a stupid fuss and the cops were called to bust him. No violence
though and I didn't even hear of any nicking from tents. Definitely a
very easy-going atmosphere.

"Dynamo" was a cracking song and I was a bit disappointed it wasn't on
your CD...
