Yep; you read right. Quote: Just before noon yesterday, bids reached £74 - which led the mud's owner to add a postscript: "Due to the huge amount of interest in this I have decided to donate 50% of the final auction price to the WaterAid charity."
Do we now have official proof of the sale of new-age relics? I'm serious [?]: it would be expected in a consumer society that the sale of 'relics' from significant events would take place. This would demonstrate the cultural significance of Glastonbury festival. Or perhaps it's just a good way to raise money....
Final quote to put it in perspective:
But, as every follower of today's profit-driven Glastonbury festival knows, where there is a market someone will undercut it. Within hours, wags were offering their own muck for brass for as little as a one penny a litre. However there was little interest shown.
Nous like scouse or French -oui? We wee whee all the way ... to mind us a bunch of thunks. Too much information? How could that be?
