Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3FBX6H2 - A yellow Manchester Metrolink all-day travelcard is held beside a tram-stop ticket machine and network map in central Manchester, illustrating how passengers bought paper tickets before today's Bee Network contactless system became the dominant way to pay. The ticket shown was purchased at St Peter's Square and is valid for unlimited off-peak tram travel, while the machine behind displays the Metrolink network and fare zones. Manchester Metrolink is Greater Manchester's light-rail system and now forms a central part of the Bee Network, the region's integrated public transport network covering buses, trams, active travel and, increasingly, local rail. Metrolink uses four fare zones, with Zone 1 covering Manchester city centre and outer zones extending across Greater Manchester. Paper tickets can still be bought from machines at tram stops, but full-fare adults are encouraged to use contactless bank cards, phones or other devices, touching in before boarding and touching out at the end so the system calculates the appropriate fare up to daily and weekly caps. In 2026 the Bee Network is being expanded further: from December the first local rail lines to Glossop and Stalybridge are planned to join, with contactless tap-in tap-out introduced at 17 railway stations and a new prepaid paper ticket covering bus, tram and train. The photograph therefore provides a useful historic comparison between traditional yellow Metrolink ticketing and Greater Manchester's move towards a unified, digitally integrated transport system. Relevant subjects include Manchester tram tickets, Metrolink travelcard, ticket machine, tram map, public transport fares, fare zones, St Peter's Square, city-centre travel, Bee Network, Transport for Greater Manchester, TfGM, contactless ticketing, integrated transport, light rail, tram travel, passenger information, urban mobility and Greater Manchester transport history. It shows cash and card ticket sales, proof of payment and UK tram tourism.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EDKYYY - A UK stock-photo/gotonysmith-Polling.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>polling station entrance is shown inside a public building, with clear election notices giving opening times of 7.00am to 10.00pm, a Way Out arrow, guidance for tellers and a warning sign saying not to use mobile phones. The image is a useful editorial stock photograph for stories about local elections, parliamentary elections, polling day, voter information, electoral administration, democracy, civic participation and the practical process of voting in person. The Electoral Commission says voters must go to their allocated polling station, usually shown on their poll card, and GOV.UK also explains that people can only vote at the polling station location on their card, although they do not need to take the card with them. The visible opening-times notice reflects the standard UK polling hours of 7am to 10pm, with voters already in a queue at 10pm normally still entitled to vote. The image can illustrate the ordinary, functional nature of British elections, where schools, community halls, libraries and other local buildings are temporarily turned into polling places. It is commercially useful for articles on election day, local councils, general elections, voter ID, turnout, democracy, polling station staffing, tellers, campaign volunteers, ballot secrecy, mobile phone restrictions, accessibility and public trust in the electoral process. The signs also show the controlled environment around voting, with information for voters and campaign tellers, privacy expectations and directional signage helping people move through the station. As a documentary stock image, it records the practical infrastructure of democracy rather than party politics, making it suitable for neutral coverage of voting rules, election administration, democratic participation and public service delivery.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RXX289 - Taken on 25 Sep 2023, this photograph shows Season Ticket season 1981/82, Manchester City Football club - Kippax St - Maine Road. The location is Kippax St, Manchester, England, UK, M14 7WE. The picture is not just a record shot: it contains aged paper, printed match details and period typography, making the football memorabilia visually authentic. The Maine Road season-ticket reference points to Manchester City before the Premier League era, when the Kippax was central to matchday identity and football support was documented through simple paper tickets. It would work for sport-history features, football nostalgia, fan culture, memorabilia collecting, stadium stories, matchday economics and the growth of football as a global commercial product. For image buyers, the value is in the combination of recognisable subject, readable wording, location evidence and a plain documentary style that can be dropped into news, magazine, web, council, housing, transport, heritage or commercial commentary without looking over-produced. Searchable related phrases include Manchester, city, centre, Manchester City, MCFC, football, club, Kippax, Maine Road, history, historic, heritage, plus wider ideas such as local identity, public realm, urban detail, social history, commercial change, everyday Britain, documentary photography and place-based storytelling. The composition gives designers scope for captions, page furniture, social media crops, report covers and article thumbnails, while the detailed captioning makes it more discoverable for searches using both specific place names and broader themes. This makes the image useful for comparison pieces, then-and-now features, local news, regeneration stories and plain-English explainers aimed at a general audience. Further SEO-friendly usage could include local services, town-centre change, heritage branding, British social history, publ.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R55JD0 - This photograph shows an Underwood Standard manual typewriter, a landmark design in the history of writing and office technology. Finished in black metal with exposed mechanical components, the machine features a full QWERTY keyboard, circular glass-topped keys, ribbon spools, and a paper roller platen, all characteristic of early twentieth-century typewriter engineering.
The Underwood Standard series, produced from the late nineteenth century onwards, was among the first typewriters to achieve widespread commercial success. Its open-frame design allowed typists to see the text as it was being typed, a significant innovation at the time that helped establish Underwood as a dominant name in offices, newsrooms, and government departments around the world.
The image highlights the tactile, mechanical nature of analogue writing technology, with visible levers, springs, and typebars arranged in a semi-circular basket beneath the carriage. The worn surfaces and patina suggest long-term use, reinforcing the sense of durability and craftsmanship associated with these machines.
Typewriters such as this played a central role in the development of modern administration, journalism, and literature, shaping how documents were produced long before the arrival of computers and word processors. Images like this are commonly used to illustrate themes of writing history, vintage office culture, industrial design, mechanical craftsmanship, and the evolution of communication technology.

As a contemporary record of a historic subject, it can illustrate preservation, interpretation, restoration, tourism and debates about how cultural and industrial heritage is maintained and reused. Prominent wording, signage, posters, logos or other graphic material gives the photograph additional documentary value because it records how an organisation, campaign, business or place communicated with the public at that moment. Text and branding visible in a streetscape can be especially useful for editorial comparison after rebranding, closure, redevelopment or policy change. The frame provides a detailed documentary record of the subject as it appeared at the time of photography, preserving the surrounding context as well as the principal feature. The photograph is intended as a factual visual record.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2KG7YAR - How does Ticketmaster's dynamic pricing work?
The dynamic-pricing system has been used in the United Kingdom for recent sales of tickets to Harry Styles, Coldplay, and Blackpink gigs.
A new Ticketmaster pricing system that alters the price of tickets based on demand is being criticised by fans and industry experts.
The dynamic-pricing system has been used in the United Kingdom for recent sales of tickets to Harry Styles, Coldplay, and Blackpink gigs.
It's regularly employed in the United States, where resale is a lot bigger, and touting is much more prevalent, reports the BBC.
Ticketmaster has now said that it is being used in order to try to stop touts, and to give more money back to artists.
Here's everything you need to know about the system, and how it works.
How does Ticketmaster's new demand-based pricing system work?
On the Ticketmaster page for Harry Styles's tour, a notice explains how its new demand-based system works.
It reads: These tickets vary in price driven by demand from fans, similar to airline tickets and hotel rooms.
We give fans an opportunity to safely buy official tickets for the events they love, right up to the date of the show.
This new pricing system means that Ticketmaster does not publicise ticket costs ahead of time, instead, they charge constantly, based on the demand for tickets

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K30810 - Collection of old receipts, invoices and business documents associated with Cohen & Wilks Ltd of Manchester is displayed on a wooden clipboard. The paperwork provides a visual example of the manual, paper-based administrative systems once used routinely by commercial organisations before computers, electronic document management and automated finance software became standard.
The most prominent document is a large printed invoice headed Cohen & Wilks Ltd, with Manchester shown beneath the company name. It is layered above other sheets carrying handwritten entries, printed account details, stamps and marks created during processing. The papers have aged to different shades of cream, yellow and pale brown, while folded edges, fading and surface wear reflect repeated handling and long-term storage.
A smaller receipt attached towards the centre includes handwriting, printed company information and an embossed or printed revenue stamp. Other correspondence is partially visible behind the main invoice, suggesting the way related documents might once have been grouped together to support a transaction, payment, delivery or account entry. The clipboard and metal fastening provide a simple physical method of keeping the papers together while they moved between employees or departments.
Before digital accounting systems, invoices and receipts commonly passed through several manual stages. Documents could be received through the post, date stamped, checked against orders, coded to an account, authorised for payment, entered into ledgers and then filed for audit or future reference. Each stage depended upon staff handwriting, physical signatures, filing cabinets and the reliable movement of paper between desks.
The photograph is suitable for illustrating traditional bookkeeping, historic business administration, accounts payable processes, office bureaucracy, paper records, document storage and the transition from manual working practices to digital systems. It may also sup

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M0KWRJ - The News of the World was a weekly national red top tabloid newspaper published every Sunday in the United Kingdom from 1843 to 2011. It was at one time the world's highest-selling English-language newspaper, and at closure still had one of the highest English-language circulations. It was originally established as a broadsheet by John Browne Bell, who identified crime, sensation and vice as the themes that would sell most copies. The Bells sold to Henry Lascelles Carr in 1891
in 1969 it was bought from the Carrs by Rupert Murdoch's media firm News Limited. Reorganised into News International, a subsidiary of News Corporation, the newspaper was transformed into a tabloid in 1984 and became the Sunday sister paper of The Sun
The News of the World concentrated in particular on celebrity scoops, gossip and populist news. Its somewhat prurient focus on sex scandals gained it the nickname Screws of the World. In its last decade it had a reputation for exposing celebrities' drug use, sexual peccadilloes, or criminal acts, by using insiders and journalists in disguise to provide video or photographic evidence, and covert phone hacking in ongoing police investigations
From 2006, allegations of phone hacking began to engulf the newspaper. These culminated in the revelation on 4 July 2011 that, nearly a decade earlier, a private investigator hired by the newspaper had intercepted the voicemail of missing British teenager Milly Dowler, who was later found murdered.
Amid a public backlash and the withdrawal of advertising, News International announced the closure of the newspaper on 7 July 2011. The scandal deepened when the paper was alleged to have hacked into the phones of families of British service personnel killed in action

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2AE028D - . Stencil, paper and spray paint art, Buxton Street,off Brick Lane,Spitalfields,East End,London,England,Uk, E1,panorama. Photographed on 26 November 2019. In London, art is all around you. This is particularly true in the streets of East London's trendsetting Shoreditch, which are emblazoned with creative street art all year round. In the longer view, city-centre photography documents both designed space and informal use
Architecture, signage, traffic, public art and pedestrian movement together reveal how people experience a place, often providing a more useful record of urban change than landmark images alone. From a heritage perspective, landscape photographs record more than scenery: buildings, vegetation, weather, transport and land use combine to show how a place appeared at a particular moment
Repeated views can later become valuable evidence of development, environmental evolution and shifting patterns of use. In historical terms, beer production links malt, hops, yeast and water with specialist equipment and cellar practice
Images of brewing vessels, casks and handpumps can illustrate both manufacturing and the pub trade that brings cask ale to the customer. Current 2026 relevance comes from the fact that urban regeneration in England continues to focus on town-centre renewal, housing, public realm and reuse of vacant commercial property
Earlier street scenes provide valuable before-and-after evidence of these changes and of the businesses or structures lost along the way. As of 2026, current interest in climate and place-making gives atmospheric landscape photographs added documentary value, particularly where weather, coastlines or urban development are prominent. As of 2026, current regeneration programmes make older urban photographs particularly valuable
They allow comparison of high streets, underpasses, shopping areas and public spaces before redevelopment, while also documenting local identity that may not survive physical change.

Ian Kevin Curtis (15 July 1956 “ 18 May 1980) was an English singer-songwriter and musician. He was the lead singer and lyricist of the post-punk band Joy Division and recorded two albums with the group: Unknown Pleasures (1979) and Closer (1980). Curtis was known for his bass-baritone voice, dance style and songwriting typically filled with imagery of desolation, emptiness and alienation.
Curtis suffered from epilepsy and depression and took his own life on the eve of Joy Division's first North American tour and shortly before the release of Closer. His death led to the band's dissolution and the subsequent formation of New Order.
Despite their short career, Joy Division have exerted a wide-reaching influence. John Bush of AllMusic argues that they became the first band in the post-punk movement by ... emphasizing not anger and energy but mood and expression, pointing ahead to the rise of melancholy alternative music in the '80s.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K3XN2X - A fortune cookie is a crisp and sugary cookie wafer usually made from flour, sugar, vanilla, and sesame seed oil with a piece of paper inside, a fortune, usually an aphorism, or a vague prophecy. The message inside may also include a Chinese phrase with translation and/or a list of lucky numbers used by some as lottery numbers. Fortune cookies are often served as a dessert in Chinese restaurants in the United States, Canada and other countries, but they are not Chinese in origin. The exact origin of fortune cookies is unclear, though various immigrant groups in California claim to have popularized them in the early 20th century. They most likely originated from cookies made by Japanese immigrants to the United States in the late 19th or early 20th century. The Japanese version did not have the Chinese lucky numbers and was eaten with tea.
Fortune cookies before the early 20th century were all made by hand. The fortune cookie industry changed dramatically after the fortune cookie machine was invented by Shuck Yee from Oakland, California. The machine allowed for mass production of fortune cookies which subsequently allowed the cookies to drop in price to become the novelty and courtesy dessert many Americans are familiar with after their meals at most Chinese restaurants today.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy F7DCWJ - . This dated editorial view of Edinburgh, Scotland, UK in 2015 captures more than the immediate subject, retaining clues about local use, design, activity and change. The defining feature is Old Royal Bank Of Scotland PLC,£1,note 1965, UK,signed by Robertson,yellow. The surrounding context encompasses changing streetscape, local enterprise, street-level business, visual archive, independent retail, bricks-and-mortar retail, local history, public realm, community identity, place identity, retail property, before-and-after reference, changing land use, and customer footfall. The wider contemporary story combines commercial rents, store closures and how commercial property costs affect small retailers. For later comparison, the photograph preserves public access and movement at Edinburgh, Scotland, UK, details that may look very different after changed technology. The location also brings in historical comparison, contemporary social history, archival record, local character, commercial frontage, specialist shop, shopfront economy, and social history. References to signed, yellow, Robertson, and Royal give the picture a strong period identity and tie it closely to its named subject. The wider setting at Edinburgh, Scotland, UK matters because ordinary visual details often provide the strongest evidence of how a place actually looked and functioned. Its period value extends to commercial rents and how commercial property costs affect small retailers without losing the local specificity of Edinburgh, Scotland, UK. The location additionally provides evidence of business rates and the contribution of independents to distinctive high streets in a form that can be compared with future views of Edinburgh, Scotland, UK. A further contemporary connection is online shopping and how commercial property costs affect small retailers within the real-world context of Edinburgh, Scotland, UK.

Another layer of the photograph includes regional identity, changing land use, historical comparison, local enterprise, independent retail, shopfront economy, specialist shop, period detail, changing streetscape, contemporary social history, town-centre trading, commercial frontage, archival record, and local character. The modern context includes continuing discussion of store closures, business rates and how shopfronts become short-lived records of changing businesses.

A second descriptive layer includes visual archive, public realm, retail property, place identity, everyday life, street-level business, bricks-and-mortar retail, and specialist retailer. References to Royal give the picture a strong period identity and tie it closely to its named subject. The period setting at Edinburgh, Scotland, UK helps place the main subject within real social and physical surroundings rather than isolating it as an abstract object. Its period value extends to store closures and the contribution of independents to distinctive high streets when considered against later change at Edinburgh, Scotland, UK.

The photograph is useful for editorial coverage of eating out, restaurant culture, food presentation, hospitality and the way international cuisine has become part of everyday dining in British cities. Food, crockery, tableware, menus, serving dishes and restaurant surroundings can provide strong visual cues for features about cuisine, ingredients, dining habits, tourism, leisure spending and the hospitality economy. The image is documentary rather than studio food photography, giving it relevance to real-world restaurant reviews, travel features, local food guides and stories about consumer choice. It also records the appearance and presentation of a meal at a particular time and place, useful for archive, lifestyle and social-history contexts. Search themes include restaurant dining, cuisine, food presentation, hospitality, eating out, table settings, tourism, consumer lifestyle and the local food economy. Because this is a real meal in a real venue rather than a studio arrangement, it has particular value for travel, dining and social-history features.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DDXKP5 - . Kenny Watson exhibition 169 Rose St Edinburgh The Days and Fascia exhibition,Scotland,UK - 2013. Photographed on 31 August 2013. The recorded location is 169 Rose St,Edinburgh,UK. The Days and Fascia - Kenny Watson. Watson presents two works for the festival that combine techniques and materials from street art and fine art, creating overwhelming visual effects from found texts. From a heritage perspective, museums and heritage attractions turn surviving objects and places into interpreted public history
Displays, reconstructed rooms and preserved machinery can place everyday artefacts within broader stories of work, domestic life, conflict, design and technological change. The historical context is that popular destinations are shaped by repeated waves of visitors, transport investment and changing ideas of leisure
Beaches, resorts, historic streets and attractions can therefore be read as both travel imagery and social history. As of 2026, museums and heritage sites continue to balance conservation with accessibility, education, digital interpretation and the cost of maintaining buildings and collections
Earlier exhibition images can therefore record displays that have since been changed or reinterpreted. The subject remains topical in 2026 because contemporary tourism is shaped by strong demand for city breaks and leisure travel alongside concerns about sustainability, crowding and the environmental cost of transport
Earlier destination images provide useful comparison with today's visitor economy. As background, heritage collections preserve material that might otherwise be dispersed or destroyed
Museums use objects, labels, reconstructed settings and historical buildings to explain both exceptional events and ordinary life, making photographs of exhibits useful records of interpretation as well as the object itself. Relevant long-tail terms include historic object, visitor attraction, museum display, heritage education, and cultural tourism.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DDXKP9 - . Kenny Watson exhibition 169 Rose St Edinburgh The Days and Fascia exhibition,Scotland,UK - 2013. Photographed on 31 August 2013. The recorded location is 169 Rose St,Edinburgh,UK. The Days and Fascia - Kenny Watson. Watson presents two works for the festival that combine techniques and materials from street art and fine art, creating overwhelming visual effects from found texts. In historical terms, visitor attractions based on historic houses, industrial sites and specialist collections combine conservation with education
Exhibits can change over time, so photographs also document how institutions presented their collections at a particular date. Looking at the subject's development, tourism images record not just destinations but changing habits of leisure: seaside holidays, city breaks, heritage visits, package travel and resort culture have all developed with transport, disposable income and mass tourism. During 2026, heritage attractions increasingly combine physical collections with digital interpretation and events, but the authenticity of original objects and settings remains central to their appeal. For the 2026 context, tourism remains a major part of the UK and European service economy, but destinations continue to balance visitor numbers with resident needs, transport capacity, climate pressures and the maintenance of historic places. In the longer view, museums and heritage attractions turn surviving objects and places into interpreted public history
Displays, reconstructed rooms and preserved machinery can place everyday artefacts within broader stories of work, domestic life, conflict, design and technological change. Current 2026 relevance comes from the fact that museums and heritage sites continue to balance conservation with accessibility, education, digital interpretation and the cost of maintaining buildings and collections
Older exhibition photographs can therefore record displays that have since been changed or reinterpreted.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DCYP1A - . A prayer request board with notes, in a church entrance Winchcombe Cotswolds England UK. Photographed on 9 August 2013. The recorded location is Winchcombe, Cheltenham, England, UK. The historical context is that churches combine worship with architecture, local memory and centuries of community history
Their stonework, stained glass, memorials, furnishings and churchyards often record successive periods of rebuilding, changing liturgy, local benefactors, war remembrance and family history. The subject remains topical in 2026 because many historic churches face the practical challenge of maintaining listed fabric while remaining active community buildings, visitor attractions and venues for worship, music and local events
Images of their interiors and memorials therefore serve architectural, heritage and social-history uses. Historically, parish churches and cathedrals are among Britain's richest sources of architectural and social history
Medieval fabric, Victorian restoration, monuments, stained glass, organs, altars and inscriptions can coexist in a single building, reflecting generations of worship and local patronage. In historical terms, ecclesiastical buildings are both active places of worship and repositories of local history
Architectural details, memorials and churchyard monuments provide evidence for religious practice, craftsmanship, community identity, genealogy and the changing use of sacred space. From a heritage perspective, churches combine worship with architecture, local memory and centuries of community history
Their stonework, stained glass, memorials, furnishings and churchyards often record successive periods of rebuilding, changing liturgy, local benefactors, war remembrance and family history.

The image records Berlin Mitte street art and graffiti, making it useful for editorial features on urban art, alternative tourism, wall culture, counterculture, gentrification, visual satire and layered public space. Berlin is a city where ordinary street details often carry heavy layers of history, from Prussian and imperial architecture to the Weimar period, Nazi rule, wartime destruction, division, the DDR, reunification, tourism, gentrification and contemporary creative culture. The caption and visible subject detail provide a specific point of entry into that wider story rather than a generic German city view. Buyers could use the photograph for articles about Berlin travel, Cold War memory, street art, museum interpretation, urban nightlife, river sightseeing, architecture, souvenir culture, public transport, pedestrian design or the way history is repackaged in modern tourism. Search-friendly composite terms include Berlin Mitte street art, DDR surveillance display, Berlin Fernsehturm skyline, River Spree pleasure boat, Ampelmann crossing light, Berliner Dom interior, Berlin urban culture and German capital tourism.

If it is heritage or church architecture, it can support more formal travel, culture, history and education uses. If it is a boat, toy or street sign, it gives editors an accessible human-scale route into a large city story. The documentary style keeps the image credible for web, magazine, guidebook, education, museum, travel, urban policy, politics, design, consumer and social commentary use. Its strength for Alamy search is the mix of precise caption wording and broader Berlin themes, allowing it to be found for both narrow subject searches and wider editorial.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy F0G6WD - This documentary stock photograph shows Berlin Mitte,Street art on walls,Germany- Man with three eyes. The image records Berlin Mitte street art and graffiti, making it useful for editorial features on urban art, alternative tourism, wall culture, counterculture, gentrification, visual satire and layered public space. Berlin is a city where ordinary street details often carry heavy layers of history, from Prussian and imperial architecture to the Weimar period, Nazi rule, wartime destruction, division, the DDR, reunification, tourism, gentrification and contemporary creative culture. The caption and visible subject detail provide a specific point of entry into that wider story rather than a generic German city view. Buyers could use the photograph for articles about Berlin travel, Cold War memory, street art, museum interpretation, urban nightlife, river sightseeing, architecture, souvenir culture, public transport, pedestrian design or the way history is repackaged in modern tourism. Search-friendly composite terms include Berlin Mitte street art, DDR surveillance display, Berlin Fernsehturm skyline, River Spree pleasure boat, Ampelmann crossing light, Berliner Dom interior, Berlin urban culture and German capital tourism. If the subject is graffiti, it can illustrate the city as a living wall of political humour, youth culture, commercial branding and layered paste-ups. If it is heritage or church architecture, it can support more formal travel, culture, history and education uses. If it is a boat, toy or street sign, it gives editors an accessible human-scale route into a large city story. The documentary style keeps the image credible for web, magazine, guidebook, education, museum, travel, urban policy, politics, design, consumer and social commentary use. Its strength for Alamy search is the mix of precise caption wording and broader Berlin themes, allowing it to be found for both narrow subject searches and wider editorial needs.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy CFE7H7 - £3.50 Tesco Clubcard Every Little Helps voucher - Tesco Clubcard (commonly referred to and branded as Clubcard) is the loyalty card of British supermarket chain Tesco.
The Clubcard scheme operates in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and several other countries. As of 2017, there were over 17 million users in the United Kingdom.
History
In 1993, Terry Leahy asked the Tesco marketing team to investigate the potential of loyalty cards. In the past Tesco had run Green Shield Stamps as a promotional tool which rewarded people for visits and spending, but gained no customer information. The initial team researched programmes across the world and developed a proposal which showed that a loyalty card could be very effective. The key change since the days of Green Shield Stamps was the ability to track individual customer behaviour cost-effectively using a magnetic stripe card.
In 1994, Grant Harrison attended a conference where Clive Humby from marketing firm dunnhumby was speaking. Dunnhumby was already working with clients such as Cable & Wireless and BMW, and Harrison approached them to help with the loyalty card project. Successful trials throughout 1994 led to the Tesco board asking Harrison and Humby to present to the annual Board strategy session.
The first response from the board came from Tesco's then-chairman Lord MacLaurin, who said, What scares me about this is that you know more about my customers after three months than I know after 30 years.

The photograph centres on Beers,Real Ales,ELR,East Lancs Railway, East Lancashire Railway Bury station, greater Manchester,England,UK. Beyond the immediate subject, the image contains elements of station environment, rail corridor, rail modernisation, passenger connectivity, railway branding, mass transit, everyday Britain, documentary photography, period detail, historical comparison, visual archive, passenger railway, rail mobility, and public transport network. For contemporary context, decarbonisation and rail reform are closely related themes, especially where the issue becomes preserving railway heritage while modernising the network. The archival value lies partly in recording equipment and working practice around 23A Bolton St, Bury,Greater Manchester,North West England,UK, BL9 0EY before changed technology alters the character of the place. The setting also brings in rail transport, transport interchange, place identity, public realm, social landscape, local history, regional identity, and regional rail. The recorded references to station, Railway, Lancashire, Manchester, and Lancs preserve clues that can help identify how the subject was presented or used at the time. The surrounding context at 23A Bolton St, Bury,Greater Manchester,North West England,UK, BL9 0EY matters because ordinary visual details often provide the strongest evidence of how a place actually looked and functioned. Another useful connection is decarbonisation and making passenger rail simpler and more dependable when considered against later change at 23A Bolton St, Bury,Greater Manchester,North West England,UK, BL9 0EY. The frame therefore remains a dated reference for 23A Bolton St, Bury,Greater Manchester,North West England,UK, BL9 0EY and the changing story of the subject shown.

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
New York based DJ Andy Butler (assisted by Kim Ann Foxman) is behind 'Hercules &
Love Affair'. This single 'Blind' featuring guest Antony Hegarty (lead vocalist in Antony &
The Johnsons) and was released March 2008.
Andrew Butler, began his musical career at 15, DJing in a Denver leather bar run by a hostess called Chocolate Thunder Pussy. He then moved to Brooklyn, in order to attend Sarah Lawrence College. According to Butler: 'I\u2019ve been writing songs since childhood. I made music for dance performances in college (where he studied under Corky St. Clair), like a remake of Gino Soccio\u2019s \u2018Runaway\u2019 done in the style of Kraftwerk.
I am so glad thats cleared up then!
A new album is apparently immenent, which explains why I have been playing this track recently.
Almost made me go out and buy a triangle, that lead out.
------------------------
The Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) was founded by Thomas Rhodes Armitage, a successful doctor who suffered from eyesight problems.
In 1868 Dr Armitage founded an organisation known as the British and Foreign Society for Improving Embossed Literature for the Blind. This later became the British and Foreign Blind Association. In 1875 Her Majesty Queen Victoria became the organisation's first patron.
The organisation received a Royal Charter in 1948, and changed its name to Royal National Institute for the Blind in 1953. RNIB's vision is of a world in which blind and partially sighted people enjoy the same rights, freedom, responsibilities and quality of life as people who are fully sighted.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4861768890 - 'The Chad Who Loved Me - 'Mansun' - Play this track here.
?Whats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
Mansun were formed in Chester, England in 1995 by Draper and King. The band's foundations were cemented with the addition of Chad, who worked behind the bar at the Fat Cat pub in Chester and they began rehearsing at Crash Rehearsal Studios in Liverpool, where the band would be discovered by a passing A&
R man and offered a publishing contract.
The band were originally called 'Grey Lantern' but changed their name to 'Manson', after the cult leader Charles Manson but were forced to change it due to copyright issues. The band gave several false accounts of this at the time, one being that they were named after The Verve b-side 'A Man Called Sun', and that 'Manson' was simply a spelling mistake which accidentally went through to production. It was reported that Charles Manson had started spelling his name with a 'U', to which Draper joked that perhaps they should sue him.
Early EPs were followed by the critically acclaimed album Attack Of The Grey Lantern which appeared to contain a conceptual storyline - heavily debated by fans - whilst ending with a hidden track (An Open Letter To The Lyrical Trainspotter, previously featured on Three EP) proclaiming sarcastically 'The lyrics aren't supposed to mean that much'. The band's debut LP knocked fellow Parlophone act Blur's 1997 self-titled album from the top spot of the British album chart. Radiohead are quoted as saying, at that year's Q Awards, that the album was 'a real musical achievement'. Draper stated that the lyrics from this era were written whilst when he was a kid and influenced by The Goon Show and Monty Python
------------------------
Lady Chatterley's Lover is a novel by D. H. Lawrence, first published in 1928. The first edition was printed in Florence, Italy
it could not be published openly in the United Kingdom until 1960. (A private edition was issued by Inky Stephensen's Mandrake Press in 1929).
The book soon became notorious for its story of the physical relationship between a working-class man and an aristocratic woman, its explicit descriptions of sex, and its use of (at the time) unprintable words.
The story is said to have originated from events in Lawrence's own unhappy domestic life, and he took inspiration for the settings of the book from Eastwood in Nottinghamshire where he grew up. According to some critics, the fling of Lady Ottoline Morrell with 'Tiger', a young stonemason who came to carve plinths for her garden statues, also influenced the story.
Lawrence at one time considered calling the novel Tenderness and made significant alterations to the text and story in the process of its composition. It has been published in three different versions.
The story concerns a young married woman, Constance (Lady Chatterley), whose upper-class husband, Clifford Chatterley, has been paralyzed and rendered impotent. Her sexual frustration leads her into an affair with the gamekeeper, Oliver Mellors. This novel is about Constance's realization that she cannot live with the mind alone
she must also be alive physically.
Even by chapter three Connie's jerking and twitching runs through her body like restlessness...

Line up, put your kisses down
Say 'yeah' say 'yes' again
Stand up, there's a head count

It's sick the price of medicine
Stand up, we'll put you on your feet again

President Gas is President Gas again
He comes in from the left sometimes
He comes in from the right
It's so heavily advertised that he wants you and I
It's a real cowboy set, electric company
Every day is happy days
It's hell without the sin, but
This old track from the The Psychedelic Furs, President Gas usually comes to mind when I am doing my civic duty every three to four years.
The Furs were an act spawned from the British punk rock scene. Originally RKO,' then 'Radio' and for a while 'The Europeans'. Built around singer Richard Butler and his brother Tim Butler on bass guitar. The classic first album was a Steve Lillywhite production.
The band recorded their 1983 album, Forever Now, with producer Todd Rundgren in Woodstock, New York. In 1986 when movie director/writer John Hughes borrowed their song title 'Pretty in Pink' for his movie of the same name. A newly-recorded version of the song became the Psychedlic Furs' biggest hit to that time. 'Heartbreak Beat' from the 1987 album 'Midnight To Midnight', was to be the Furs' biggest top 40 entry in the US.
The band split in the early 1990s, with the Butler brothers going on to found Love Spit Love. In 2000, 'Beautiful Chaos: Greatest Hits Live' was released to plug the gap of the missing live album. In my opinion, the BBC in concert bootlegs of 1982 &
1984 are better encapsulations of the band live. I saw them at the Royal Court in Liverpool that latter year.
A UK reunion tour was pencilled in last year including a manchester academy date, but this was unfortunately cancelled. earlier dates in the USA went ahead and a recording of 17/09/2009 in San Francisco that can be found on the web sounds like a band on top form.
Fingers crossed I may manage to see them again soon!

The Glock is a series of semi-automatic pistols designed and produced by Glock GmbH, located in Deutsch-Wagram, Austria. Glock commands over 65% of the market share of handguns for United States law enforcement agencies.
The Glock 17 became a standard NATO-classified sidearm and was granted a NATO Stock Number 1005/25/133/6775.
The Glock 17 is a 9mm short recoil-operated locked breech semi-automatic pistol that uses a modified Browning cam-lock system adapted from the Hi-Power pistol. The firearm's locking mechanism utilizes a linkless, vertically tilting barrel with a rectangular breech that locks into the ejection port cut-out in the slide. During the recoil stroke, the barrel moves rearward initially locked together with the slide approximately 3 mm (0.12 in) until the bullet leaves the barrel and chamber pressure drops to a safe level. Thus care must be taken to keep your lower thumb of the hand clear when using the pistol. Otherwise your skin can aquire a tasty rip or bruise.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PJNEXF - Neglected accessible toilet cubicle in the United Kingdom, with loose and used toilet tissue scattered across the tiled floor around a raised white lavatory fitted with a dark contrasting seat. The untidy and apparently unhygienic condition suggests that the facility has not been inspected, cleaned or replenished frequently enough. For a disabled visitor who may depend upon this specially adapted space, such poor maintenance can turn an essential public facility into an unpleasant, undignified and potentially unsafe environment.
The cubicle includes several features intended to support wheelchair users and people with limited mobility. Horizontal blue grab rails run along the tiled walls, while a padded fold-down support rail is positioned behind the toilet. A stainless steel flushing panel is mounted above the WC, and a large circular toilet-paper dispenser is fixed to the adjacent wall. However, the dispenser appears open or incomplete and several cardboard tubes remain exposed, while torn paper and debris are visible on the floor. Accessibility equipment alone does not provide genuine inclusion when basic cleanliness, consumable supplies and routine supervision are missing.
Accessible toilets can be crucial to a person's ability to travel, work, shop, attend appointments and participate independently in everyday public life. Their condition therefore concerns more than ordinary housekeeping. A dirty or unusable disabled lavatory may create additional barriers for wheelchair users, older people, carers and anyone requiring extra space or support. It can also communicate that their comfort, health and dignity have been treated as a lower priority.
UK workplace guidance requires sanitary facilities to be maintained in a clean and orderly condition, while organisations providing services must consider reasonable adjustments and equal access for disabled people. Regular inspection records, responsive cleaning arrangements, replenished supplies and prompt reporting

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K0KPPD - Mersey Beat was a music publication in Liverpool, England in the early 1960s. It was founded by Bill Harry, who was one of John Lennon's classmates at Liverpool Art College. The paper carried news about all the local Liverpool bands, and stars who came to town to perform.
The Beatles had a close association with Mersey Beat, which carried many exclusive stories and photos of them. It also published several of Lennon's early writings, including a history of the band, and occasional comical classified advertisements by him as space filler.
Between 1958 and 1964, the Merseyside area had about 500 different groups, which were constantly forming and breaking up, with an average of about 350 groups playing concerts on a regular basis. In 1961, Harry and The Cavern Club's DJ, Bob Wooler, compiled a list of groups that they had personally heard of, which had almost 300 names. In 1962, Mersey Beat held a poll to find out who was the most popular Merseyside group. When the votes were counted, Rory Storm & The Hurricanes were in first place, but after looking through the postal votes again, Harry noticed that forty votes were all written in green ink, in the same handwriting, and from the same area of Liverpool, so the dubious votes were declared void. This was suspected to have been Storm himself, but Harry had no idea that The Beatles had done exactly the same thing.
The results were announced on 4 January 1962, with The Beatles in first place. The results were printed in issue 13 of Mersey Beat on 4 January 1962, with the front page announcing, Beatles Top Poll!
An iconic symbol of the Mersey Beat era was the poster artwork created by local artist Tony Booth. He was a popular figure amongst the promoters in the area where he was commissioned to create hundreds of the posters used to advertise all the concerts that were occurring during that period. His posters were seen on walls all across Merseyside including some of his famous work outside The Cavern Club

Ian Kevin Curtis (15 July 1956 “ 18 May 1980) was an English singer-songwriter and musician. He was the lead singer and lyricist of the post-punk band Joy Division and recorded two albums with the group: Unknown Pleasures (1979) and Closer (1980). Curtis was known for his bass-baritone voice, dance style and songwriting typically filled with imagery of desolation, emptiness and alienation.
Curtis suffered from epilepsy and depression and took his own life on the eve of Joy Division's first North American tour and shortly before the release of Closer. His death led to the band's dissolution and the subsequent formation of New Order.
Despite their short career, Joy Division have exerted a wide-reaching influence. John Bush of AllMusic argues that they became the first band in the post-punk movement by ... emphasizing not anger and energy but mood and expression, pointing ahead to the rise of melancholy alternative music in the '80s.
