Uniroyal helps develop wellie for Glastonbury festival

That's just plain kinky

Diversification as every farmer who runs a caravan site with fishing, cafe, golf driving range and swinger barn will tell you, is everything.

Uniroyal makes tyres but it does not have to end there. No sir!
So for those of you heading for Glastonbury some advice. You are on the wrong blog.
No, look Uniroyal has joined forces with Leicester University in designing a special festival wellie with revolutionary ‘supergrip’.
Using the technology from the company’s renowned Rallye 550 tyre, the treaded boot is said to prevent the common festival time affliction of Oozium Derrieras, or muddy arse.
Tracey Hyem of Uniroyal said: “Every year we see images of festival goers sliding around in the mud because their wellies don’t give them enough grip.”
Quite.
And here are some other festival time causes of falling over. Lager. Wine. Cannabis sativa. Lurve. Toilet fatigue. Common assault.
Let’s hear it for Country Joe and the Fishing boots.
