Field Day Festival in London

Field Day was basically ruined by the lack of phone signal and 3G and the huge, if not, epic, queues for the toilets, cash points and food stalls. You might have seen me ranting on Twitter when I got in on Saturday, but with the benefit of hindsight and sobriety I [...]
