    I'll make a last point and leave, because you have one hell of an attitude problem:

    The point of the 'If you go to a nightclub and the floor is sticky - would you complain?' is a great point.

    I went to the V festival a few years ago. I researched it online and found out from previous festival-goers that the toilets were absolutely the most disgusting thing they had ever come across, the stalls sometimes sell dodgy food at hugely hiked prices, the alcohol is overpriced and the parking is a nightmare.



    If you plan on taking part in an activity for the first time - any activity - surely it's sensible to research it first? You clearly have access to the internet.

    90,000 people were at the V festival in Chelmsford and the same amount in Staffordshire.
    Not only does that explain the toilet problems (Huge amount of people + alcohol = needing the toilet) but it also means there were 89,999 people who had to put up with the same thing you did - and the majority of people are repeat goers who adore the whole experience.

    What I'm saying is that it's part of the parcel of such events and if you're not prepared to put up with it, don't go. You should have done your research beforehand.

    Edit: I should also add that after reading your previous threads - you're actually just a serial whinger.

    [quote=[Deleted User];36198903]Nope. Just complain when things are wrong.

    Also, dont you think its a bit sad going back and searching my posting history. I find that a bit stalkerish to be honest.

    BOTTOM LINE:

    IF YOU'RE NOT INTERESTED IN THE POST, NOBODY IS FORCING YOU TO REPLY - IGNORE IT !!![/QUOTE]

    If you had done your research, as I did, you would have known what the facilities at the festival would have been like. Research means you know the full background before entering into something, be it a discussion or a decision to go to a festival. My research meant that I knew you would start throwing insults as soon as people pointed out the flaws in your moan, your lack of research meant you were disappointed with the festival.

    Lesson for the future - do your research! :p
    Gone ... or have I?

    I really do give up....

    YES, I KNEW THE TOILETS WOULDNT BE GREAT.
    I KNEW THE FACILITIES WERE NOT GREAT
    I KNEW THERE WERE QUEUES
    I KNEW IT WAS EXPENSIVE

    Its just that some of these things COULD BE BETTER with some more effort on the part of the organisers.....

    Do you understand now?

    Not meeting your standards matters nothing to them while the events sell out. Why cater to the caviar and chablis crew when they make a bigger margin from the beer and chips brigade.
    (Very early Glastonbury (70's) was great, no fencing in place and so I could just pop home to a nice clean loo)

    I understand that you're just a big old whinger, yes.

    What do you expect from complaining, apart from giving them a laugh?

    So it's SUGGESTIONS you need rather than complaints.

    As an aside have you ever been anywhere or bought anything that didn't turn out to be a disaster. Or are you related to teh Fast Show's Unlucky Alf?
    It's taken me years of experience to get this cynical
  • Hey I like this cyber stalking. Looks like HouseHuntr is either very angry or gets some sort of kick out of abusing people on a daily basis. Got to admit finding some of these posts has made my day.... LOL

    I might just start a new game. Create a new id and see how many times I can post something and get HouseHuntr to abuse me....

    Maybe. I doubt if they'll do anything like you said.
