The Green Man is more forward thinking than most. When he arrives at the folk festival he has four showers on the first day thus addressing all four days cleanliness in one efficient session. In spite of this The Green Man unexpectedly found himself in need of an additional shower part way through the festival due, in part, to the refusal of Mrs Green Man to come with 3 feet.

All shower cubicle were occupied and those waiting consisted of three singers from an Irish folk group and aged in their early twenties and on a high on their first trip from Ireland and, of course, The Green Man himself. They were joking around and a cubicle became available. One went in and the other two became impatient for their turn. One yells at the top of his woice

"I hope no-one is wanking in there because there are people out here waiting for a shower"

Within about 30 seconds the two remaining cubicles opened out came two boys, one about 12 and the other 14. They left the shower block avoiding eye contact. Oh well two more boys scarred for life.

Anyway The Green Man was entertained with some magnificent lyrical singing of Irish folk songs during his shower.
