Having fun with the Fun Lovin' Criminals at muddy Glastonbury

A SALUTARY discussion on the perhaps less than salutary subject of waterless toilets revealed an extraordinary insight into the lives of Scotland's top litigators.

Philip Rodney, chairman of law firm Burness, made a disclosure over lunch of his recent experience of Glastonbury. According to Rodney, Amy was a washout, but Eddy "Electric Avenue" Grant was a revelation. The toilets were rubbish.

Nor was he the only example of middle-class, middle-aged professional types pretending to be hippies for a weekend and getting down with the kids. While Rodney was checking out new Salford indie-pop sensations the Ting Tings, standing next to him was Glasgow-born former BBC politics editor Andrew Marr.

Rodney says, the toilets notwithstanding, it is completely possible to enjoy Glasto without any of the traditional muddy hardships endured by festival goers.

And the litigator's favourite act? Could be none other than the Fun Lovin' Criminals.
