The standard of the loos was excellent. Well done to these unsung heroes of the festival!

I agree with the hygiene/restocking aspect and the unsung heroes. But one big winge I do have. I'm by no means lean at 16+ stone, but I know there are people a lot bigger than me at Crops. Those posher type male and female blocks in F7 are so tiny I had to squeeze myself between the bowl and the back wall just to get the door closed - then reverse the process at the end and back out. And that's without the chair, bag and walker   >:(

But, hot water from the tap! That's a first.

Nah...I can remember hot water about 25 years ago...it was the year after there'd been quite a problem with the loos after a particularly wet one the year before.  It was only in the looks at the top of the field.  I'm probably imagining this...

The toilets were indeed very well maintained, with those at the far-top end of 7b still flushing and serviced with running water and paper towels even as we left about 11:30 on Sunday morning.

A big "Thank You" to those involved with providing and looking after them for the duration.

Yes, the toilets were excellently maintained. I do agree with the lack of space behind the door though, and I have lost 2 stone since I retired.

thought I'd said this before...  ?    :-)

agreed about the "better standard" of loos...  but three male sit downs for the whole of field five was a tad on the low side.  i never turned up and didn't have to queue for a sit down.


I spelled "sit down" VERY carefully there! ;-)
