An unfortunate trail of events...

[Valley Boy_merged]

As a first timer at Wychwood and one of the "victims" of the Friday night thieves I can assure you that those of us who were robbed do have "feelings" other than that of gullibility for thinking that keeping my cash in a wallet inside a zipped up bag at the back of my tent next to my head was adequate. My six year old son with whom I was sharing the tent was extremely bothered about the fact that someone had been in when we were asleep to the extent that I could not leave him in the charge of his 16 year old brother on the following nights (so had to miss out on the comedy/silent disco). I wasn't too happy either at the idea of some toe-rag possibly carrying a knife crawling in beside me as I slept. Losing the cash was painful but not as much of a concern as the upset caused to my family.

I'll give you victims of crime.....

I think it was '95, a REALLY muddy Glastonbury, some *Welsh toe-rags entered into the Awning at the side of our van and, seeing a large box marked JOHNNIE WALKER, helped themselves to a pair of wellington boots!!

* Welsh yes, because they were caught elsewhere in the same field - probably why I've never taken to my fellow Celts - until Duffy took to the stage!!
