After all the publicity surrounding China's use of the 'weather controller' to fend off any unwanted showers during the opening ceremony, some festival-goers are urging UK festivals to sit up and take note.
NME.com reports that they've had 'music fans' suggesting 'that the system be used over here to help create rain-free festivals.'
Personally, I quite like the fact that British festivals are renowned for the rain, it adds that extra bit of anticipation in the car on the way there to see if you're gonna see the heavens open whilst you're getting down to your favourite sounds.
You think the likes of Michael Eavis would be up for bringing in the 'weather controller' to keep the rain off his ravers?

I'm sure they've been manipulating and 'making' it rain for several Glastonburys ... you can' dampen, but you can't kill the spirit.

The cloud movers have been around for ages, its nothing new.
Theres no point in going to glastonbury if its dry. Rain makes things more fun. Some of us enjoy it too.

Here's a story about how the Chinese used rockets to stop the rain so it wouldn't spoil the opening ceremonies.
