At some point on Friday, I made a horrible discovery. It turns out that my expected tea, in a park, was all something of a misunderstanding. Apparently it's not tea but T - harmless enough, until you realise that the T stands for Tennent's. For heaven's sake, even Carling drinkers look down on Tennent's and as a card-carrying member of CAMRA I'm obliged to froth biliously at the mouth at so much as a glimpse of the stuff.
Everyone else in the world knew this. I didn't.
However, I boldly overcame all odds, didn't have to drink any Tennent's, and managed to have a reasonable cup of tea at least once a day. I even watched The Who while drinking a nice cup of Earl Grey. Fairtraded Earl Grey, to boot.
( As promised, there were also bands )
I also have a variety of opinions, which I'm sure everyone's terribly interested in, on T as a festival (complete with inevitable comparisons to Glastonbury). In order to avoid this post becoming monstrously long, they will be put off to a more convenient season. There will also be a few photos, when the nice people at Bonusprint have done Things With Chemicals for me.
