I have a feeling, Mike, that a "pig" is a short electrical connection lead, to
connect, say, an amplifier to the power supply from a mobile generator on site.
I don’t know how I know that, since I do not recall ever working as a roadie at
Glastonbury (other venues are available) - but it might be consistent with an
aircraft shore supply/intercom to the flight deck.

I’ve seen these markings on the tarmac at Dubln many times, but can anyone tell
