With campsite trash accounting for more than half of the rubbish accumulated at music festivals, there are calls for a "cultural shift" in the behaviour of those attending.

I was so shocked to see how many people left their belongings, but it was even more shocking that it was normal for everyone online," she said.

    The old adage “Take only Photos, Leave only footprints” has not been drummed into kids these days.

    If the tent came back missing a single peg, we would get a hiding.

    If our campsite has anything but leaves and twigs after we left, we would be sent back the next weekend to do an Emu bob.

    We also cleaned up after each other because of the story about Everybody, Somebody, Nobody and Anybody.

    I feel really old!
