To answer the challenge from Bemused:

i) I don't get "pissed-off" at good festivals. Only at bad ones.

ii) I do get "pissed-off" when people criticise the good ones. It's far too easy to criticise. Just look at some of the posts on mudcat!

Towersey was busier this year than ever before.

Sidmouth was not.

It seems that festivals organised by Steve Heap and Mrs. Casey attract the punters. What's wrong with that?
