When I saw your thread title, I miss-pressed the above thread instead which started with Pauline talking about diseases..... Lol!

Usual warning about language in the comments
Never been there myself - too fond of my home comforts.
rgray: Not only that, MotoGP in Holland tomorrow; Lorenzo is out with a broken collarbone after coming off spectacularly in rain during yesterday's practice.

Glastonbury is a huge music festival, famous for its mud!
A mud fest, and you don't even make pottery? LOL I prefer my home comforts as well, Neil.

Glastonbury is the search for a loo in foot high mud listening to music miles away while you trudge!

I've never been to Glastonbury, but.....
I did venture on to your home turf many years ago. Reading 1977. Guess what? It rained. A veritable monsoon. I lost a desert boot (remember them?) in the mud. I put my foot down, pulled it up sans boot and almost fell flat on my face. Turned 'round and couldn't work out where to start looking in the sea of mud. Ah, those were the days :-)

It may be that local planners, at least in the northern hemisphere, know that the mud will make re-seeding the land easier. 
Plus, a good coating of mud stops most pesky personal insects; even with their minuscule brains, they know to stay away from mud!
