It was in the back of my mind all throughout the night that I may not get back home. All the TV channels were saying it is getting worse and not to travel. Then, in the night in my hotel when the wind and rain got up fierce again I got really worried that I may be in fact stranded in London in the morning. I was awake at 4am worried. It is crap for you but you did the right thing by staying at home as things were so uncertain on the trains.
Charlotte said they will be back soon so you will have another chance to see them.

I saw a picture of Euston station (my station had I been coming to London) and it was insane, it's always crazy busy but they actually stopped people coming in as it was getting dangeriously busy!

My trip was made more difficult by the fact I had to go to Kenley to meet my brother and then go up from there. The south coast was truly shitty, and I had no desire to go by bus to Reigate, then arrange the Kenley side-trip before relying on the trains still running. By the time I should have been at Victoria they had closed half the station because of a problem with the roof so I threw the towel in.

I was surprised by the £20 t-shirts, it's been a while since I saw one that cheap

Nice. Yeah, £20 is good.

Leeds Festival 2020

Presumably Reading has the same acts, but on different days!

Is it bad that I've only heard of 6 of the acts on that poster?

That's three more than I have - and they are the headliners!

Demdike@Cult Labs · #**1239** 12th February 2020, 12:35 PM

I've only heard of ten.

Three of those are on Sunday's Pit stage, the three headliners plus Two Door Cinema Club, Courteeners, All Time Low, Idles and Sleeping With Sirens.

This is more like it.
