At the end of the day, it was probably the only headline the NME could make out of that year's Glasto - and fitted in with the whole Manics backlash they had going on at the time.

The 'Crappergate' business was all a bit of a laugh though, I reckon. Who wouldn't want their own loo at Glasto???
to be honest, i sorta agree with bragg on this. yeah, the manics have every right to have their own private toilet, but it's a bit prudish. i don't demand my own private toilet when i'm out in public, why should i at a festival? the toilets they would've used were surely in the backstage area, so it's not like they would've had to use the really awful ones.

I think Nicky claimed they didn't want to share their toilet with other musicians (and hangers on i guess) who would be snorting coke off the toilet seat!

Can't say as i blame him, call me slightly anal but other peoples shit and cokeheads really get up my nose

No opposing band wrote "no, fuck off." under it, that's what's always surprised me about it!

They were the portaloos? I wouldn't have wanted to use those either!

And I don't agree with Bragg. No, no, no.

I'm more surprised no one wrote "Richey is here."

Personally if I was there I would have just pissed on it with a sign saying "this is what you get for reserving teh fucking toilets!"

I just think, if they want to take their own toilets then that's their business! How did Billy find out? That's what I wanna know!

The festival's all communal though, so taking a sort of toilet as your own, whilst saying it's no one elses to use (when it is anyones right to use it!) is a bit of a twattish thing to do.

I admit making it blow up into Crappergate was too much but Bragg had a good point.

Plus everyone knows you learn festival etiquette of "wake up at 6am, go when they've just been cleaned" pretty quickly
