Transformers / Glastonbury
I'm a collector of those toys from the Eighties and also a regular festival-goer. About 5 years ago at Glasto I popped into one of the plastic cubicles for a wazz when I noticed that someone had left a Transformer toy (it was Ravage, the jaguar that changes into a micro-cassette) in the little plastic basin/urinal bit to the side, on top of a mound of piss-soaked toilet paper. I opened the door and got my missus to pass me in some bog roll, which I wrapped around my fingers, extricated the little feller, then ran him under a cold tap for about 20 mins. Then I wrapped him in more bog roll and stuck him in my bag. When I got home I washed him in boiling water, and he's got pride of place in my collection to this day.

Though this story seems dull in hindsight, the pure coincidence of someone taking a Transformer to Glastonbury and leaving it for me to find in a toilet blew my mind somewhat as I was in a state of advanced chemical refreshment at the time...
