Bogs for the girls

[j4]

This year there will be special loos just for the laydeez at Glastonbury. (Thanks to sion_a for spotting this one.)

How daft, though. I don't want toilets which aren't used by men -- they're all individual cubicles anyway! -- I want toilets that aren't used by morons. I certainly don't think men have a monopoly on being filthy and inconsiderate.

Gosh. I don't think I've ever used a loo at Glasto *that* bad - though I do frequently use some of the huge wads of loo-paper to wipe the seat off beforehand. Mind you, I avoid the portaloos if at *all* possible (will walk quite a way if necessary) and stick to the long-drop & similar, which are invariably nicer. And I've certainly seen toilets sufficiently grim that I just avoided them altogether & found another one.

But by and large IME the loos at Glasto are nowhere near as bad as is commonly made out. Certainly they're better than the Reading campsite ones (mostly because they get cleaned out regularly), and the long-drop aren't too horrendous at all. Maybe I just have a high tolerance for such things, mind...

It's when there's a lot of... well, fallout. Mind you, there were times when I had trouble finding a portaloo which was still concave. Blehhh.

The long-drop ones are much nicer, though. And by and large you can find one that's okay, though you often have to wander a bit to find them.

I think I avoided the Reading campsite ones completely when I went to Reading, and just made sure to use the ones in the arena (which were okayish) before going to bed! (Given that everybody seemed to be using loo-paper to decorate trees before setting fire to them, I wasn't too hopeful that they'd treat the toilets any less moronically.)
