Lightning and torrential rain delayed the start of the Glastonbury Festival in Somerset, with flooding hitting parts of the site.

"Streams running through the site have burst their banks, some gates to the site have been closed because of waterlogging," he said.

"There are rivers of water running through the farm down the hill. At points, the water is knee-deep."

Unlucky lol I love the picture on the right, imagine waking up floating round the camp site :P

The kid in that pic went swimming in it to rescue his carkeys and cash card!

bugger me.

"knee deep" thats a tad generous looking at that second pick!

Sure is, I find it pretty funny, that guys probably popped some pills and woke up floating in the water thinking, dude how the **** did I get myself into this one :D As a couple of guys float past paddling with a couple of tent poles and a blow up lylo

Just think of all those drugs getting wet :devilish:

noooo, what a waste!

You could make a killing selling dry rizlas ;)

I could imagine people actually doing it, anything to make money, buying a glasto ticket just to tout Rizla


Get yer rizla, dry rizla, Ill buy and sell any dry rizla !

it wasnt as bad as that mostly tbh, lots of people were flooded but 'chaos' is typical journalistic flair :)

What i want to know is, how the **** did those two guys in the canoe pictured paddling amongst the tents on the front of the papers know to pack one?. One for Mulder and Scully methinks...
:lol:
