When you're in a crowd of 100,000 people and you need a wee, you either pee in a bottle and throw it to the front, or grab a cup and announce to the crowd via a "W" symbol that you're about to go! lovely!

2. There's room to sit on your sofa, and tea, and a toilet!

135,000 tickets sold out in 1hr 40mins. The Pyramid stage holds 90,000 people, that leaves 45,000 people having to watch 'The Other Stage'.

That equates to 430 tents per hectare, though that's not very interesting.

3. Your house has a ceiling

Festival goers at the first ever Glastonbury in 1970 enjoyed free entry and were even given a free pint of milk!

That equated to 1,500 pints of milk being give away, probably creating the crowd with the strongest bones T.Rex ever performed to.

5. The Lovely Fresh Country Air!

In 1998 the Dance Tent had to be closed due to flooding of raw sewage. Delightful!
