Glastonbury Festival hit by rain
Home
"A few unlucky ones just arriving at the site this morning - some unprepared for the rain in flip-flops and shorts - faced the prospect of pitching their tents in the storm"... now what sort of fool would do that? I must put those old pictures online!
BBC Radio 1's live coverage was abandoned, the weather cut the power to the Pyramid Stage (what about that big old turbine they had?), and lightning burnt a hole in a beer tent.
Here's how the Radio Times are representing the festival, then a still slightly cheery image from The Times, and finally a stinker from Reuters:

Oof, nme.com has people swimming, that's how bad it is...

Over to you, discussion about anything local, but please be considerate... Folkestone on TV, Kent gigs, Find a flatmate, rent a room, property queries, current news, what's new, local events, for sale, local services, what I like about Folkestone, ask questions, offer advice, plug yourself... the more it's used the more useful a resource it will become. If you want a gig listed click here to add it (fixed now!), or just click here to post a message...
