LOL! How is that hippie bullshit? Pagans go back centuries. Where do you think Christmas came from?

I hope the pagans remembered to pick up their beer cans and styrofoam food containers on the way out.

Its awfully COLD on Salisbury plain thru the night. I slept on the metal floor of a transit van (VERY uncomfortable) for about an hour before wandering about. This was back in 2006. We hung around until about 9am when the atmosphere of the place changed for the worse: a load of Londoners had arrived by coach, all of them pissed up on Special Brew and roudy. I dont think there was any trouble though

There are several tons of rubbish, lost property, bottles & drug paraphenalia picked up by site staff the day after. This is why the site is closed the next day. A lot of these people don't realise this as they are too stoned, drunk or absent to care who has to pick up the pieces. The tax payer picks up the cost as usual.
