Good god Rob I don't mean the festival. I should have made it clearer. The smell when turning off the M5 South wood burning fires from houses and garden rubbish, the meeting rooms, joss sticks, my weird and wonderful friends kitchen if food, blown out candles. Never been to the festival. There's far more to glasto than the dreaded festival.

Ps the hippies in the town are far nicer

[ROB T]

Oh dear got that completely wrong didn't I..... Sorry Elfie.....
