Festival Fever
 SCHEDULE
V Festival

Make sure you check which day your favoured bands play at which site. Last year, two Manic Street Preachers’ fanatics booked tickets to Chelmsford and the next day at Staffordshire, and ended up missing them. Twice! The dozy clots.

Mark your tent with a pair of pink knickers on a flagpole. It’s not easy to find your tent at the best of times, never mind at midnight after a day of excess.

Staying on the tent theme, get to know your neighbours. That way, they’ll guard your tent against thieves and salvage it when it’s sliding off down the hill in a rainstorm.

Keep an eye out for Gywneth Paltrow, so that you can stare adoringly at her whilst she stares adoringly at Coldplay front man and paramour Chris Martin. It’s good to stalk.
