"Don't be ridiculous Steve!"

I was thinking of the poor mortals in tiny tents in the dark where it would be inadvisable if not plain daft to try and heat water using an open gas stove. Fine if you have a huge tent or (in my case) a centrally heated caravan (but no shower).

To survive, festivals may need to attract more than the dyed in the wool folkies who have cold showers and live on seaweed sandwiches and bean sprouts. People pay £70 or more for tickets, often as much again on fuel and many people now expect decent facilities.

It just seems that infrastructure that can give rise to so many of the complaints is low in the pecking order when it comes to allocating resources (and maybe low in management priorities)

Showers at Sidmouth were lovely this year? Is that a first?

Why can't Towersey run twice a year now it apparently has civilised showers? Surely the market is out there? You couldn't do Sidmouth in the winter to be sure.
