So yet another Glastonbury Festival has ended, as usual the weather made the news early on, unlike the hot weather of last year it reverted to type and poured with rain most of the time.
Fortunately nearly all the festival goers come prepared and bring along their wellies, Wayne Rooney and his wife were so happy with their £500 Hunter/Jimmy Choo boots they even posted photos of their wellies on twitter for us mere mortals to marvel at.
It certainly isn't cheap to fit in at Glastonbury now, festival tickets are £200 and it's £25 just to park the car, £1000 for your own tipi if you've got the cash and the VIP area has now become a separate festival altogether, a festival within a festival one might say.
The VIP area was heaving with BBC presenters and crew, celebrities, models, actors and even politicians got in on the act. unfortunately for one it all ended in tragedy when he was found dead in the VIP toilets, well at least they were the VIP toilets and not the wretched cesspits reserved for the great unwashed.
And that about summed up what Glastonbury has become, a bloated corporate jolly for the VIP and a second rate, commercialised, over-hyped, rip-off festival for the NOT-VIP.
