So are we going to Glastonbury or what?

I suspect not this year, as we have a lot on in June anyway, but if we were we'd have to register in advance... Weird. Will it beat the touts? I doubt it, unless all the artists' guests have to register in the same way, just as far in advance.Who wil...

Some would have you believe the people of Folkestone are mad

The evidence cited in support would be that most locals there are firmly behind a planned shopping development, says the Guardian... I think the HMV is a GOOD THING, not so sure about Asda but who knows. We have plenty of little independent shops, an...
