fogma Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 Sadly no milk tractors going round the campsites this year. Be interesting to see where the new shops are - here’s hoping there’s one close to Wicket family camping as it’s a godsend to us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glast0baby Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 No Milky Milky?!? Oh the trauma! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoonBuggy Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 Actually a little bit sad about that - it was one of those nice little traditions that made Glasto unique! Anyone know why they've changed it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave_c Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 Damn, the sound of milky milky is a Glastonbury staple, just like long drop doors banging. Wonder why they are no longer doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fogma Posted June 5, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 Decided it’s not safe enough to drive round the campsites with the amount of people about. 😢 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 Probably not safe to be fair. I mean even one person getting a foot run over and there gonna look at it and think does this tractor need to be driving around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nal Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 (edited) Nearly 20,000 people were killed by the milk tractors in 2019 so probably for the best. Absolute bullshit from Glasto HQ btw Edited June 5, 2022 by The Nal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinhead Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 Yeah quite - I mean has there really ever been a safety incident with one of them before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it really just one tractor ? I mean that’s pretty good going if it was … perhaps some of these couriers could learn from them 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acid Loafers Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 I guess it would be near impossible to drive, but wonder if they could have replaced the tractor with an actual milk van if safety was such the main worry 😆 I only buy milk for White Russians at the stands so hoping that this doesn't lead to the milk selling out any faster during the day. I usually don't buy it until after lunch, to have it as fresh as poss. In 2017 on Sunday milk was sold out, we had to buy an overpriced pint of Milk from a coffee stand near the pyramid 😂, it was worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grayfitz Posted June 5, 2022 Report Share Posted June 5, 2022 Whenever I've seen it doing the rounds in the campsites it's going maybe 3mph? Feels like the bit in Father Ted with the milk float and the boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
