The traffic on the way to Glastonbury is so bad people are playing cricket in the road

The Glastonbury traffic is so bewilderingly terrible right now that revellers have abandoned their cars to play cricket in the road.

A holy trinity of bad weather, masses of people, and shitty country roads have created a catastrophic backlog of cars across Somerset. The queues feel like the stretch across time zones, and they may well do. No one's found the back yet.

But not everyone's given up the ghost - some are making the best of a bad situation in the Britishest way possible.

But wait, there's more. Cider stalwarts Orchard Pig are now delivering direct to cars - Tweet them @OrchardPig with the hashtag #CiderForecast and your location/car details, and you might nab yourselves free cans of sweet, sweet cider.

There's lots to keep the mind occupied - just keep dreaming of those verdant fields and the Times Of Your Lives that are on the horizon. Whack out that #bangers to get yourselves in the mood for festivalling proper.

Not much longer now.

(Don't dwell on the fact that the site's a swamp and all the best camping's gone, or that you're gonna have to shit in a crisp packet if the queues don't shift soon and you've already drunk half the weekend's booze)

Keep dreaming.
