That moment in a dialects of English class when you ask students what their words for a small running body of water is, and one from Yorkshire says 'beck' and another from Denmark says 'bæk'.

A favourite post-headliners ritual in myself and Melanie #Glastonbury going years was heading off to a place called Common Ground where you could get five chocolate biscuits for £1. Wonder if it’s still there?

In 2008 Glastonbury still hadn’t sold out until the week itself. 2009 I bought tickets the day after they went on sale. Can’t remember 2010. 2011 we failed in the initial sale & only got in on the April resale! Something clearly had changed. 2008/09 is so hard to believe now.
