Leeds festival, right?

Think of Rob being pissed on, for this example.
I can't imagine they'd be much better but I have no involvement with the company that has that contract.

Ah yes, Leeds.
If it's not the mud, it's the smell of piss. If it isn't the smell of piss, it's the smell of weed. Failing that, seventy thousand sweaty teenagers usually combine to make my nose shut down in protest.

and if it's not the smell of piss
It's the smell of burning portaloos, containing burning festival turds.

one year, an employment agency eventually found me a stewarding job there after six weeks of continuous nagging
it was perfect,* apart from a few things:

a) you weren't allowed to smoke or drink on site at all, not even during the 12 hours out of 24 that you weren't working, or else you'd get instantly fired without pay
b) if you wanted to go back to the city (e.g. to have a proper shower and a hot meal), you had to use a designated coach which charged £8 per trip, or else you'd get instantly fired without pay
c) you had to keep an immaculate appearance throughout your whole tour of duty, or else you'd get instantly fired without pay (good fucking luck there)
d) the agency took a 30% cut out of your wages, which were only minimum wage to start with**, and if you complained you'd get instantly fired without pay

needless to say I had the last laugh didn't take it, and gave some other mug a golden opportunity to be a dogsbody and get next to nothing for it

* i.e. it paid more than sod-all
** that kind of thing was perfectly legal back then
