Report

I mentioned 'they' three times, and was very clearly referring to the poll respondents, referenced in the same sentence, of the 3rd paragraph, whilst the second and third time... well, I'll just quote it here.    Very clearly talking about the government, but not wanting to type "the government" over and over again. However, in answer to your question, not exactly no, not a "clandestine conspiracy to eliminate smokers," But I do think that, given half a chance, they'll (sorry, the government / any government will) remove as many freedoms as we will let them get away with!   I'm truly sorry for your losses by the way, and they do give good reason to your strong opinions on this. But literally everything you've just said, including losing family members, can be applied to alcohol too. It might surprise you to learn (given I'm a publican) that I lost my Dad and several other family members of his generation to alcohol. In my Dad's case, I lost him a long long time before he died, as is often the case with alcohol. It's probably one of the reasons I make my place behind the bar and very rarely in front of it. (festivals, gigs and holidays only, never at home / in my pub.) Yet if you go back over the last few pages in here, mine, and other's, attempts to highlight the similarities have been shrugged off and ridiculed. You touched on it in that very reply! They're both bad habits, that have the potential to end lives, especially if done to excess. However, if people want to do these things, that's entirely up to them, it's not your place, not my place, nor the government's place, to save people who don't want to be saved. 

Long time lurker here, got a small tidbit of info that might help with Sundays sale, but obviously want to keep it close to my chest just in case. It is by no means a winning ticket, but I imagine it will definitely give some edge to those that use it. Willing to share it but only in a trade for info - if you have any, please DM me.   I genuinely wish the lot of you the most luck I can in the sale on Sunday, if I had the power I would allocate a Glastonbury ticket to each and every one of you before the sale even starts. ❤️ good luck all!

It's a bit annoying that their plots are not that big and also square, when tents are generally not square. To get mine in I'd need two spaces.

Doesn’t that just reinforce the point that has been made repeatedly (ie when huge US artists that have little footprint in the UK are championed as headliners and the festival is branded out of touch for not considering them?)…different artists with different pull in different markets…Stadium level (sometimes) locally but playing Webster Hall in NYC. Not at all surprising that he be lower down the bill when that’s the level he’s at in the US, but clearly operating on an entirely different level in UK/EU where he’s headlining major festivals now.

KILLER   There was a recent documentary on Netflix about the strike. Was very interesting
