Does anyone else get irritated by BBC coverage of Glastonbury?
Another year of the BBC trying to "give viewers the full Glastonbury experience" by interviewing middle class people with middle class presenters in sanitised areas while sitting on bright primary colour sofas with cushions.
Maybe just me, but that 'aint Glastonbury. |  |

Over promoted by the BBC, a middle class fest.
Not surprising that so many BBC staff get free tickets to 'help out' some say up to 1,000. Has it become the BBCs staff festival? |
Nah that's Wimbledon.
Ill never forget the time listening to Simon Mayos show on the radio and he was doing it from Wimbledon for no reason other than he could, and then did the film reviews with Kermode, from Wimbledon, and every so often they'd mention a score in a match they weren't watching or covering live because they were reviewing films anyway
And I just thought this is insane.
It's the same though at Glasto or Silverstone next week the Beeb will triple up on staff covering it when they really have no valid reason to be there, essentially so they have a jolly on a day out |  | | |

Been like that for years imo always full of the pretentious middle class, I mean did Glasto invent glamping? | | | |

and saying every artist playing the gig 'absolutely smashed it' gets a bit tedious.
I still miss John Peel presenting it. When he used to politely say 'that was something I don't really much care for' you knew he thought it was sh-t. [Post edited 27 Jun 11:27]

Also when did "I am loving that" become the only acceptable form of praise ?
That wording suggests that the 'loving' is for a certain amount of time - I am loving that now - but will stop at some time in the future.
It's not much of a compliment.
Yes, 'smashing it' seems to mean something profound. Especially with regards to a band / song / performance that is average at best. |  | | |
