There are two kinds of people in the UK right now - those stuck in Glastonbury traffic and those who aren't.

The normal pre-festival excitement has been replaced by rain and a distinct lack of movement on the roads leading to the legendary festival.

This pretty much sums it up...

After 9 hours of queueing, it's good to get my first warning of it! #glastonburytraffic πŸ˜‚ pic.twitter.com/mOwL03s6AJ

It's so bad organisers had advised anyone who hasn't set off yet not to bother for now.

And this is what the site itself looks like.

This guy might be exaggerating a bit however...

Although the reality isn't much more attractive to be honest.

In the meantime getting a bit of shut-eye seems to be the best option.

And don't forget to stay energised for the eventual slog once you do arrive.

This rather smug individual seemed to forget the train doesn't go all the way to the campsite.

Last night festival organisers Michael and Emily Eavis announced their EU referendum leanings with a massive sign, the irony of which didn't go unnoticed.

But let's face it, it'll be worth the wait and the naysayers can do one.

Always been baffled by @GlastoFest it looks messy, cold & depressing, reading #glastonburytraffic makes me smug cause I just don't get it?

I've never experienced anything like this. Tempted to give up before I've even got to glasto #glastonburytraffic

And look on the bright side.
