FESTIVAL MUD AUCTIONED

You might have missed Glastonbury but you can still live the experience.

Four festival-goers are selling mud from last weekend's three-day event on auction site eBay.


Persistent rain at the world-renowned three-day festival in Somerset saw many of the 150,000 revellers slipping through mud in Wellington boots. Hundreds of ankle injuries were reported as people failed to keep their footing.

One advertisement, offering mud from the front two rows of the main Pyramid stage, says: "Couldn't get a ticket? Had to watch it on TV or read about it?

"Well, here's a chance to own your own little piece of Glastonbury."

The mud, which was scrapped from boots, has received 15 bids, including one for £74.

Another offers a "carefully collected" 4cm by 5cm chunk of mud "framed very beautifully" in a beech box frame.

Its current top bid is £3.10. Its owner described it as "a quality piece of memorabilia."

Alternatively you can buy a bottle of mud from "healing fields" or some in a recycled glass test tube.
