Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3DCX6FW - A large street banner carrying the message Trans Is Not A Choice / Transphobia Is displayed in Manchester's Gay Village along Canal Street, photographed at Canal Street, Manchester M1 3WD. The banner is positioned within a public pedestrian area close to historic brick civic buildings, situating the message firmly within the everyday urban environment of Manchester city centre.
Canal Street is internationally recognised as the heart of Manchester's Gay Village and has long been associated with LGBTQ+ visibility, nightlife, activism and community life.

The wording of the banner reflects contemporary debates around transgender rights and social acceptance in the UK, emphasising that gender identity is inherent while prejudice is a matter of choice. Photographed in daylight, the image documents a moment of public expression within a well-known LGBTQ+ space, providing strong editorial value for themes of human rights, equality, activism and modern urban culture.

Key searchable subjects associated with the scene include cold cathode, cold-cathode, lights, lighting, tube, tubes, seedy, exotic, porn, sex, sensual, underclass, providing natural SEO coverage without losing the specific documentary identity of the photograph.

The retail context supports editorial themes around high streets, shopping centres, consumer behaviour, independent and chain businesses, store branding, commercial property, hospitality and the changing economics of town and city centres. Shopfronts, promotional material, prices, signage and surrounding public space can become valuable historical evidence as businesses close, rebrand, relocate or adapt to online competition and changing consumer demand. 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. Its value is both descriptive and editorial, allowing the scene to illustrate news, features, local history, travel, social change and retrospective comparison. Visible or contextual elements such as architecture, signage, branding, public realm, transport infrastructure, street furniture and everyday activity help establish a strong sense of place where they form part of the scene.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EE4M7F - Colourful interior view of God's Own Junkyard in Walthamstow, East London, showing a dense wall of neon stock-photo/gotonysmith-Signs.html?sortBy=relevant&pseudoid=237DAF28-A4ED-4448-8173-C0E81ABEEC6F Target=_Blank>signs, carnival-style lights and pop culture advertising imagery, including the large heart-shaped wording Are You Getting Enough above signs referencing casino, alcohol, music, nightlife, service and entertainment. The image captures the deliberately excessive visual language of neon, with bright yellows, reds, pinks, greens and blues layered across a dark indoor space to create a sensory overload of desire, pleasure, temptation and urban culture. God's Own Junkyard is the Bracey family's neon gallery and café-bar at Ravenswood Industrial Estate, Shernhall Street, London E17 9HQ, and Visit London describes it as Europe's largest collection of neon lights, made up of the late artist Chris Bracey's personal collection, his own works, discarded signage and movie props. The photograph is useful for editorial themes around neon art, advertising, consumer desire, sex, gambling, alcohol, thrills, music, club culture, Soho signs, fairground aesthetics, pop art, retro entertainment, light art, urban spectacle and the commercial language of pleasure. It can also illustrate more critical stories about the addictive pull of modern entertainment, the visual marketing of nightlife, casino culture, alcohol promotion, adult entertainment, compulsive consumption and the question of what people use as the drugs of life. The indoor scene has no visible weather, but the darkness, artificial glow and saturated colour strongly suggest a night-time leisure atmosphere even within a gallery setting. The visible wording should be treated as part of an artwork and sign collection, not as a direct endorsement of gambling, alcohol or adult entertainment. This commercially strong stock image suits travel, culture, design, London attractions, neon heritage, photography, nightlife, psychology of advertising and debates about pleasure, consumption and modern urban escapism.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2NXEM3B - Sixty-nine or 69, also known by its French name soixante-neuf (69), is a group of sex positions in which two people align themselves so that each person's mouth is near the other's genitals, each simultaneously performing oral sex on the other.The participants are thus mutually inverted like the numerals 6 and 9 in the number 69 (69), hence the name. This position can involve any combination of sexes.
Method
Variations of the 69 positions include mutual anilingus or double rimming, and digital penetration of either partner's anus or vagina.
In these positions, the partners are said to experience sexual stimulation simultaneously, but this can also distract those who try to focus solely on pleasuring themselves. The position can also be awkward for partners who are not similar in height.
The term sixty-nine or soixante-neuf for mutual simultaneous oral-genital stimulation is an English translation of the euphemistic French term, soixante-neuf. The term soixante-neuf has not been traced any earlier than the Whore's Catechisms published in the 1790s in France, usually attributed to the early leader of the French Revolution, Mlle. Théroigne de Méricourt.
The Kama Sutra mentions this sex position, albeit by a different name: When a man and woman lie down in an inverted order, i.e. with the head of the one towards the feet of the other and carry on [mouth] congress, it is called the 'congress of a crow'.
Internet meme
In reference to the sex position, 69 has become an internet meme, where users will respond to any occurrence of the number with the word nice and draw specific attention to it. This means to sarcastically imply that the reference to the sex position was intentional. Because of its association with the sex position and resulting meme, 69 has become known as the sex number in these communities

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JJPKRF - Nocturnal penile tumescence is a spontaneous erection of the penis during sleep or when waking up. Along with nocturnal clitoral tumescence, it is also known as sleep-related erection, morning glory or morning wood. Men without physiological erectile dysfunction or severe depression experience nocturnal penile tumescence, usually three to five times during a period of sleep, typically during rapid eye movement sleep. Nocturnal penile tumescence is believed to contribute to penile health
The cause of nocturnal penile tumescence is not known with certainty. In a wakeful state, in the presence of mechanical stimulation with or without an arousal, erection is initiated by the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system with minimal input from the central nervous system. Parasympathetic branches extend from the sacral plexus of the spinal nerves into the arteries supplying the erectile tissue
upon stimulation, these nerve branches release acetylcholine, which in turn causes release of nitric oxide from endothelial cells in the trabecular arteries, that eventually causes tumescence. Bancroft (2005) hypothesizes that the noradrenergic neurons of the locus ceruleus in the brain are perpetually inhibitory to penile erection, and that the cessation of their discharge that occurs during rapid eye movement sleep may allow testosterone-related excitatory actions to manifest as nocturnal penile tumescence. Suh et al. (2003) recognizes that in particular the spinal regulation of the cervical cord is critical for nocturnal erectile activity.
The nerves that control one's ability to have a reflex erection are located in the sacral nerves (S2-S4) of the spinal cord. Evidence supporting the possibility that a full bladder can stimulate an erection has existed for some time and is characterized as a 'reflex erection'. A full bladder is known to mildly stimulate nerves in the same region. The possibility of a full bladder causing an erection, especially during sleep

The recorded location is Brick Lane,Shoreditch,East End,London,England,UK, E1. 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. The historical context is that public art can become part of the identity of a street or neighbourhood, recording political ideas, local history, humour, memory and changing cultural tastes
Murals, sculpture and decorative art are especially valuable as documentary subjects because they may be altered, moved, weathered or removed. The wider historical story is that town and city centres are continually rewritten by new buildings, transport schemes and changing commercial uses
Photographs preserve the everyday fabric between major landmarks, including underpasses, arcades, back streets and small businesses that may disappear during redevelopment. As background, allotments and farms link household self-sufficiency with the commercial food system
Seed varieties, hand cultivation and large-scale mechanised farming provide a visual history of how people grow food and how agricultural practice changes. The subject remains topical in 2026 because contemporary interest in public art is closely linked to regeneration and cultural tourism. murals and sculpture continue to be used to express identity and animate public space, while redevelopment can make photographic records of earlier works increasingly valuable. In the present 2026 context, 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.

It is illegal to buy sex from a person younger than 18, although the age of consent for non-commercial sex is 16.
In Edinburgh, estimates from Scot-Pep suggest there are about 700 indoor sex workers “ 200 in saunas, 350 independent escorts and 150 agency escorts as well as 80-100 women on the streets over a year.
33 women were arrested for soliciting in Edinburgh in 2010-11, and 21 the following year. Most of these arrest happen at the street and police mostly targets mostly the streetwalkers.
Prostitutes and Sex Workers
Edinburgh is well known for massage and sauna venues where you can find some girls for half an hour or an hour. Over the past years many sauna venues have been closed, but some still stay open, while more massage salons keep opening. Street prostitution is still active in Edinburg, but not nearly as common as in the past, because most streetwalkers have moved indoor and started working as an independent escorts.

The sauna and massage parlours of Edinburgh function, in an unofficial way, as licensed bordellos. Punters here do not come just for a massage. They want, for the most part, some kind of sexual services.

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
A track with a tale of what you reap is what you sow.
'Cat's in the Cradle' is a 1974 folk rock song by Harry Chapin from the album Verities &
Balderdash. The single topped the Billboard Hot 100 in December 1974. As Chapin's only number one hit song, it became the best known of his work and a staple for folk rock music.
The song was based upon a poem written by Harry's wife Sandy
the poem itself was inspired by the awkward relationship between her first husband, James Cashmore, and his father, a New York City politician. She was also inspired by a country music song she had heard on the radio. Harry has also said that the song was about his father-son relationship with his son, Josh, saying that 'Frankly, this song scares me to death'.
The song is told in first-person by a father who is too busy to spend time with his son. Though the son asks him to join in childhood activities, the father always responds with little more than vague promises of spending time together in the 'future'. While wishing to spend time with his father, the son starts to model himself on his father's behaviour, hence the verse wishing to be 'just like him.'.
The final two verses are a reverse of the roles, where the father asks his grown-up son to visit, but the son responds that he is now too busy to find the time for his father. The father then reflects that they are both alike, saying 'my boy was just like me.' The song's chorus uses imagery related to childhood Cat's in the Cradle, Silver Spoon, Little Boy Blue, Man in the Moon.
This track was covered by the band 'Ugly Kid Joe' which sold over half a million in Australia. It was also used in the British Government Don't Suffer It, Change it / Despairs In The Cradle campaign in Northern Ireland mid 1980's - www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTWXDY1lJMY

INXS (pronounced 'in excess', In-X-S) are an Australian rock band, formed as The Farriss Brothers in 1977 in Sydney, New South Wales. Mainstays are Garry Gary Beers on bass guitar, Andrew Farriss on guitar/keyboards, Jon Farriss on drums, Tim Farriss on lead guitar and Kirk Pengilly on guitar/sax.
In the early 1980s, INXS first charted in their native Australia with their debut self-titled album, but later garnered moderate success elsewhere with Shabooh Shoobah and a single, 'The One Thing'. Though The Swing brought more success from around the world, its single 'Original Sin' was even greater commercially, becoming their first number-one single. They would later achieve international success with a series of hit recordings through later in the 1980s and the 1990s, including the albums Listen Like Thieves, Kick, and X
and the singles 'What You Need', 'Need You Tonight', 'Devil Inside', 'New Sensation', and 'Suicide Blonde'.
Hutchence's private life was often reported in the Australian and international press, with a string of love affairs with prominent actresses, models and singers. Hutchence's relationship with UK television presenter, Paula Yates, began while she was still married to music artist and Live Aid organiser, Saint Bob Geldof.
Hutchence and Yates had a daughter in 1996 just after she had divorced Geldof. Hutchence's death in 1997 was determined by the New South Wales Coroner to be the result of suicide \u2013 the finding was disputed by Yates, Hutchence's family and his fans. In 2000, Yates died of a heroin overdose and their daughter was placed in Geldof's custody with her half-sisters.

A track that nearly brings tears to my eyes, a memory of a very low time.
But why is it that women like shoes so much? Now I am looking for comments from you lady contacts and those male contacts who do appreciate relaxing in nylons and fine Italian leather....
Shoes are beautiful objects, no doubt about that. Nice shoes are a piece of art. It feels good for females to hold them, look at them, and most importantly wear them. Like a nice china pot that can be held and investigated.
Maybe you look at your shoe collection in the same way that an art collector looks at her art collection. Do you have a much better sense of yourself when you wear nice shoes or boots?
When you think about a wardrobe full of shoes, do you feel safe and satisfied? Do you love the feeling of buying new shoes, wearing them and then looking at yourself in a mirror?
Then you might be tempted.........
Squeeze are a British band that came to prominence in the United Kingdom during the New Wave period of the late 1970s, and continued recording successfully in the 1980s and 1990s. They are known in the UK for their hit songs 'Cool for Cats', 'Up the Junction', 'Tempted', 'Labelled With Love', 'Black Coffee In Bed', 'Pulling Mussels (From the Shell)', and 'Hourglass'. Though not quite as commercially successful in the U.S., 'Tempted', 'Hourglass' and '853-5937' were all American chart hits for Squeeze, and the band have a dedicated following there and continue to attract new fans. All of Squeeze's hits were written by band members Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford.
The group formed in Deptford, London in 1975, and first broke up in 1982. Squeeze then reformed in 1985, and broke up again in 1999.

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
Blondie is an American rock band, founded by singer Debbie Harry and guitarist Chris Stein. The band was a pioneer in the early American New Wave and punk scenes of the mid-1970s at CBGB's in New York.
Their first two albums contained strong elements of these genres, and although successful in the United Kingdom and Australia, Blondie was regarded as an underground band in the United States until the release of Parallel Lines in 1978. Over the next three years, the band achieved several hit singles and became noted for its eclectic mix of musical styles incorporating elements of disco, pop, rap, and reggae, while retaining a basic style as a New Wave band.
Blondie broke up after the release of their sixth studio album The Hunter in 1982. Debbie Harry continued to pursue a solo career with varied results after taking a few years off to care for partner Chris Stein, who was diagnosed with pemphigus, a rare autoimmune disease of the skin.
The band reformed in 1997, achieving renewed success and a number one single in the United Kingdom with 'Maria' in 1999. The group toured and performed throughout the world during the following years, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006. Blondie has sold 40 million records worldwide and is still active today, with a new album, Panic of Girls, released 30 May 2011 in the UK.
Prostitution itself is legal in the UK: a person can buy sexual services and working as a private prostitute or outcall escort is legal \u2013 but many related activities are not. This includes kerb crawling, pimping, keeping a brothel, advertising the services of call girls by placing cards (\u201ctart cards\u201d) in phone boxes, like these here and having sex in public. The laws apply to both male and female prostitutes and male and female clients.
Under the Street Offences Act 1959, it is illegal for a prostitute to wait for or solicit business in a street or public place, effectively making street prostitution illegal. Although assistance should be given to assist offenders in finding a route out of prostitution, prostitutes may be punished. Usually first or second time offenders will be cautioned, third and fourth time offenders are usually arrested and charged and on the fifth offence an anti-social behaviour order may be issued on conviction.

The Secret Machines are a three-piece American alternative rock band. Originally from Dallas, Texas before moving to New York City, they describe their band as space rock. The original lineup consisted of two brothers, Brandon and Benjamin Curtis, and Josh Garza. In March 2007, Benjamin left the band, and was replaced by Phil Karnats.
In 2004, The Secret Machines released their first full length CD - Now Here Is Nowhere. Their second EP, The Road Leads Where It's Led, was released on 7 June 2005. The song 'Nowhere Again', from the their debut album, was used in promotional spots for American during its launch, and appeared in the 2006 videogame Driver: Parallel Lines.
Ten Silver Drops, their second album, leaked onto file sharing websites following the release of this excellent single 'Alone, Jealous and Stoned' in the UK. The album once again did not sell well but saw some favorable reviews. Benjamin Curtis left the band on March 3, 2007 to focus full time on his new band, School of Seven Bells.
The Secret Machines have three tracks on the soundtrack for the 2007 film Across the Universe, which highlights the music of the Beatles, set to the story of a handful of characters living out the songs. They perform 'I Am the Walrus' with Bono singing
an instrumental, 'Flying' and 'Blue Jay Way' in their notable style.

If you have not seen them before, 'Love Hearts' are a type of confectionery manufactured by Swizzels Matlow in the UK. They are hard, fizzy, tablet-shaped sweets in a variety of fruit flavours featuring a short, love-related message on one side of the sweet.
Love Hearts currently come in six flavours, each associated with a colour.
1.White (a plain, sherbet-like, slightly tart vanilla flavour - Weakest Flavour)
2.Yellow (a sherbet-like flavour with a distinct sharp lemon aftertaste)
3.Orange (a sweet flavour with a slight orange aftertaste)
4.Green (a slightly lime flavour with a sherbet-like aftertaste)
5.Purple (an unusual, slightly perfumed berry-like flavour with a strong aftertaste)
6.Red (cherry flavour - Strongest)
Sample messages include:
Be My Love, Just Me, Hug Me, Bye Bye, Dream Girl, Dream Boy, Cutie Pie, New Love, Call Me, Nice Girl, Hi Buddy, Love You, U Rock, Its Love, Tease Me, I Love You.
Lately you can also sometimes find 'Luv U 24/7', 'Email Me' and 'Page Me', bringing them into the 21st century.
Production of Love Hearts began in 1933 with the formation of Swizzels Ltd., initially in factory premises at Star Lane, Canning Town, London, moving later that year to the larger premises at Drivers Avenue, Plaistow, London. During the Blitz in 1940 production relocated to a disused textile mill in New Mills, Derbyshire, England, UK where it has stayed to this day.

\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
This is the first track from one of my favourite albums, the stunning debut 'Real Life', rightfully acclaimed as one of the greatest LP's of all time. The Guardian had this to say: 'Released in April 78, Magazine's debut was the first post-punk album. And Howard Devoto was the first post-punk anti-star, with his cryptic lyrics and anxious-young-man persona. Real Life had punk energy and art-rock ambition, with complex song structures and sophisticated musicianship.'
The band was formed by Howard Devoto after leaving Manchester punk band Buzzcocks in early 1977, deciding to create a more experimental and less punk band who later influenced many musicians. Magazine reunited for a tour through Britain in February 2009, with almost all the most remaining and 'classic' line-up during their brief time, with the exception of guitarist John McGeoch (who died in 2004 and was replaced by Noko, who had played with Devoto in Luxuria).
Early work followed punk stylings. The first single 'Shot By Both Sides', the chorus of which shared the same progression as Buzzcocks' 'Lipstick,' fractionally missed the UK Top 40. Its cover was an early example of the goth influence in punk. The band, with the recently recruited Dave Formula on keyboards, made its first major TV appearance on Top Of The Pops in February 1978, performing the single.
In 1979 Magazine's second album, 'Secondhand Daylight' was released, reaching the UK Top 40. The record features more experimental, synthesizer-based material. That same year, McGeoch, Adamson and Formula joined electronic project Visage, recording and releasing the single 'Tar'.
For the 'Correct Use of Soap', Devoto decided to change producer, choosing twisted genius Martin Hannett. The album made the Top 30. Following its release McGeoch decided to leave the band, tired of Magazine's low sales and their less guitar-oriented songs, joining Siouxsie and the Banshees.
To replace him the band called Robin Simon, who previously was in Ultravox.
After over 25 years a reunion was planned. The sold out shows received widespread critical acclaim, together with festivals in the UK and abroad over summer. In January 2010 Noko officially joined the band, becoming a full member of Magazine.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 5167325589 - 'Adolescent sex - 'Japan' - Play this track here.
\u00bfWhats this iPod Shuffle set all about? Read about it here
An ipod track that I ripped from a red vinyl single from my loft. Japan came out of Catford, South London. They were often associated with the 'New Romantic' movement, but the band were far more sophisticated than this narrow definition.
Band members David Sylvian (Vox), Richard Barbieri (Keyboards), Mick Karn (Bass), Sylvian's brother Steve Jansen (percussion). Later Rob Dean joined playing guitar.
The band debuted on record with the 1978 album 'Adolescent Sex' from which this track was taken. It was followed up with 'Obscure Alternatives'. Both albums sold well in Japan (where the band's name helped them to gain a devoted cult following) and Holland, where the single 'Adolescent Sex' was a Top 30 hit. They also gained some popularity in Canada. Unfortunately in their native UK those albums were largely ignored.
Though influenced by artists such as the New York Dolls, Roxy Music and David Bowie, both albums were widely dismissed by the UK music press as being distinctly outmoded at a time when punk and New Wave bands were in ascendence. The band were managed by Simon Napier-Bell who has also managed The Yardbirds, Marc Bolan, London and Wham!. Check out www.simonnapierbell.com for a quick tour of his world or his book 'Black Vinyl, White Powder' a recommended rollercoaster ride through the most interesting 20 years of UK music.
1979's Quiet Life, heralded a significant change towards a more electronic sound. Their final two studio albums, Gentlemen Take Polaroids (1980) and Tin Drum (1981), were released on the Virgin label, and continued to expand their audience as the band refined its new sound and, somewhat unintentionally, became associated with the early-1980s New Romantic movement. Tin Drum in particular is critically regarded as one of the most innovative albums of the 1980s, with its startlingly original fusion of occidental and oriental sounds, and peaked just outside the UK Top 10. Its unconventional single 'Ghosts' reached no 5 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Japan's biggest domestic hit.
Japan's last ever performance was on 16 December 1982 in Nagoya, Japan. The band's final Hammersmith concerts were recorded to produce Oil On Canvas, a live album and video released in June 1983. This is a good starting point if you woul dlike to get to know the band. Tell 'em I sent you!
------------------------
To avoid controversy over the title, the album was renamed 'Japan' in some countries' Any controversy in this image should be rooted in the mind of the beholder.

With new friends moving in its always difficult decorating a new place. Dave prefers more conservative celestrial blue while Nickolas has more a leaning for a yellow golden fern. Its looking like whatever happens it will take at least three coats of magnolia to paint over Gordons old choice of Fire cracker red. when we are finished blue and yellow will mix into a nice deep green. Probably a fitting reminder that Britain elected its first green MP in Brighton only last week.
Under the UK parliamentary system of government, a hung parliament (also known as a minority parliament, a balanced parliament or no overall control) is a legislature in which no political party has an absolute majority of seats.
This situation is normal in many legislatures with proportional representation such as the parliaments of Germany and Ireland, or in legislatures with strong regional parties
in such legislatures the term 'hung parliament' is rarely used since this is the typical outcome of an election.
However in nations in which the first-past-the-post voting system in single member districts is used to elect parliament, such as the United Kingdom and Canada, a coalition government or 'hung parliament' tends to be less common, as in these circumstances one party will usually hold enough seats to form a majority, often without a plurality of votes on a national basis. To resolve a hung parliament will usually result in either a coalition government, a minority government \u2013 or even a dissolution of parliament and a fresh election. It is these who will be choosing the paint tonight, in one of Londons most iconic addresses.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4608369781 - 'Dave and Sarah's shop is the latest business to earn a decent crust in Crewe. It was Officially opened by Councillor Margaret Simon, who is Mayor for Cheshire East. This is the first francise for the Brampton Pie Company outside Cambridgeshire.
Slightly cheesily at the official opening Councillor Simon said, \u201cIt\u2019s a great vote of confidence that Brampton\u2019s has chosen to set up in Crewe and can only add to the town\u2019s economic growth. I have also become a personal fan and regularly pop in for a pie at lunchtime, as they are located irresistibly close to Crewe\u2019s Municipal Buildings.\u201d I did not check with Dave and Sarah how many pies had in fact been purchased / consumed by the local elected elite, when I popped in to say hello to my old work mate.
Crewe is in fact slightly south of what I would probably term 'Pie Central' in the UK, Wigan. While justly famous for its 1970's Northern Soul 'Wigan casino' pies are a large slice of the Wigan economy.
The annual World Pie Eating Championship is usually held at Harry's Bar on Wallgate, Wigan. The competition has been held since 1992. In 2006, due to relentless pressure from the Vegetarian Society a vegetarian version was added.
In the 2006 competition, the meat and potato pies were all 12 cm (5 in) in diameter with a depth of 3.5 cm (1.5 in). In the separate vegetarian contest, the pies were 10 cm (4 in) by 3 cm (1.2 in).[3]
In the 2007 competition, entries included a competitor's dog, Charlie, who had eaten 20 pies and damaged a further 10 the night before the competition, nearly jeopardising the event.
The last two years victors have been
Fred Wyatt, a 61-year-old warehouse packer won the 2008 Championship, which was broadcast live on the internet by pay-per-view. In 2009
Barry Rigby, a warehouseman won, eating a pie in a record 45 seconds.
Controversy was caused in 2005 when pies were imported (out of the Wigan area) from nearby Farnworth, Bolton and local Wigan pies were sidelined, resulting in a four-man strong protest. A similar situation arose in 2009, with pies being sourced from Adlington.
More controversy was caused in 2006 when the competition was changed (to meet government healthy-eating guidelines) from the number of pies consumed in a given time, to the fastest time to consume a single pie.
Wiganers are proud to be called pie-eaters, but the nickname is not thought to be because of their appetite for the delicacy. The name is said to date from the 1926 General Strike when Wigan miners were starved back to work before their counterparts in surrounding towns and were forced to eat 'humble pie'.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4604789614 - 'The common Bluebell, (Hyacinthoides non-scripta to be precise) grows from bulbs and can be expected about four weeks after daffadils in Britain. By the time they appear, frosts should be receeding and days getting noticably warmer.
Other common names for it include auld man's bell, bluebell, calverkeys, culverkeys, English bluebell, jacinth, ring-o'-bells, wilde hyacint, and wood bells (probably as they appear in shaded woodland almost spontainiously.
Bees are a favourite to pollinate these plants. Their black seeds may survive long periods of time emerging after several years' absence if suitable conditions recur. The seedlings can flower in two years from seed and as a result, bluebells can quickly spread to form a carpet in suitable conditions.
In spring, many north-western European woods are covered by dense carpets of this flower, these are commonly referred to as 'bluebell woods'. In my youth that was the common name for a large wood beside the railway commuter line between Hadfield and Manchester. In spring it did produce a carpet of blue.
The presence of large numbers of bluebells is often used as an indicator species to identify ancient woodland, particularly in the East of England and Lincolnshire. It is estimated that 70% of all common bluebells are found in Great Britain.
In the UK the common bluebell is a protected species under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. Landowners are prohibited from removing common bluebells on their land for sale and it is a criminal offence to remove the bulbs of wild common bluebells. This legislation was strengthened in 1998 under Schedule 8 of the Act making any trade in wild common bluebell bulbs or seeds an offence. So respect the little blue fellows!

A lot of people mistakenly regard the Liberals as the new kids on the block these days, while in reality at core they were the old guard with the Tories back in the late victorian era. When the left wing Labour party arrived, quite soon ping pong between Tory and Labour administrations have ensued.
While many councils are liberal led, however the first past the post system is an unfortunate barrier to seeing a majority liberal party prime minister at Westminster. One which the two main parties may be reluctant to dismantle if a hung parliament results tonight and Nick Clegg assumes his role as 'Kingmaker'.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4601233205 - 'Well, this will be one year when I cannot vote for the 'Official Monster Raving Loony Party'. Lord Sutch (or David Edward Sutch aka the 3rd Earl of Harrow) being no longer with us. With his death 16th June 1999, one strand of eccentric British tradition ended.
I once met him before the 1997 election. I had a short chat at a gig in Macclesfield when photographing a rock band who was supporting him. He certainly had many contacts in the music world, as this old vinyl album of mine testifies.
In 1963, Sutch and his manager, Reginald Calvert, took over Shivering Sands Army Fort, a Maunsell Fort off Southend. From there in 1964 they started 'Radio Sutch'. It was the time of pirate radio stations such as Radio Caroline. Broadcasts consisted of music and Mandy Rice-Davies reading Lady Chatterley's Lover. Sutch tired of the station, and sold it to Calvert, which was renamed 'Radio City', which lasted until 1967. In 1966 Calvert was shot dead by Oliver Smedley over a financial dispute. Smedley was acquitted on grounds of self-defence. About this time Ritchie Blackmore left his band, 'The Savages' to form prog rockers 'Deep Purple'.
In 1968, Sutch toured parts of the United States in the Rolls Royce on this cover, with a Union Jack Flag on the roof and a trailer of Marshall amplifiers to sell, hitched to the back. This album 'Lord Sutch and Heavy Friends' was named in a 1998 BBC poll as the worst album of all time, a status it also held in Colin Larkin's book The Top 1000 Albums of All Time. All despite the fact that Jimmy Page, John Bonham, Jeff Beck, Noel Redding and Nicky Hopkins performed on it and helped write it.
In the Rolling Stones song 'Get Off of My Cloud', the guy who shows up 'All dressed up just like a Union Jack' was infact Lord Sutch, uninvited in Mick Jagger's room.
He founded the Official Monster Raving Loony Party in the UK 1983 and fought the Bermondsey by-election. In his career he contested over 40 elections, rarely threatening the major candidates, but often getting a respectable number of votes. He was easily recognisable at election counts by his flamboyant clothes. It was after he polled several hundred votes in Margaret Thatcher's Finchley constituency in 1983 that the deposit paid by candidates was raised from \u00a3150 to \u00a3500. This did little to deter Sutch, who increased the concerts he performed to pay for campaigns.
His most significant contribution to politics came at the Bootle by-election in 1990. He secured more votes than the candidate of the Continuing Social Democratic Party (SDP), led by former Foreign Secretary David Owen. Within days the SDP dissolved itself. In 1993, when the British National Party gained its first local councillor, Derek Beackon, Sutch pointed out that the Official Monster Raving Loony Party already had six.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4587919792 - 'Few plants captivate a nation quite like the Japanese flowering cherry or 'cherry blossom'. Pick up a 100 yen coin and at any time of the year it reminds you of the Sakura.
In Japan cherry blossoms among other things symbolize clouds. This is due to their nature of blooming en masse, besides being an enduring metaphor for the ephemeral nature of life, an aspect of Japanese cultural tradition that is often associated with Buddhistic influence, and which is embodied in the concept of 'mono no aware' (the life of things). The association of the cherry blossom with 'mono no aware' dates back to 18th-century scholar Motoori Norinaga.
The transience of the blossoms, the extreme beauty and quick death, has often been associated with mortality. For this reason, cherry blossoms are richly symbolic, and have been utilized often in Japanese art, manga, anime, and film, as well as at musical performances for ambient effect. The band Kagrra, which is associated with the visual kei movement, is an example of this latter phenomenon. There is at least one popular folk song, originally meant for the shakuhachi (bamboo flute), titled 'Sakura', and several pop songs. The flower is also represented on all manner of consumer goods in Japan, including kimono, stationery, and dishware.
Cherry blossom is an omen of good fortune and is also an emblem of love, affection and represents spring. Cherry blossoms are an enduring metaphor for the fleeting nature of life, and as such are frequently depicted in art.
At Himeji Castle Japan During World War II, the cherry blossom was used to motivate the Japanese people, to stoke nationalism and militarism among the populace. Japanese pilots would paint them on the sides of their planes before embarking on a suicide mission, or even take branches of the trees with them on their missions. There is a plane of this type in the Manchester museum of science of industry. My friend Josef Knocke always comes to mind when I look at it as does a particularly tasteless joke, that I would not repeat here for a family audience.
A cherry blossom painted on the side of the bomber symbolized the intensity and ephemerality of life. In this way, the aesthetic association was altered such that falling cherry petals came to represent the sacrifice of youth in suicide missions to honor the emperor. The government even encouraged the people to believe that the souls of downed warriors were reincarnated in the blossoms.
In its colonial enterprises, aparently imperial Japan often planted cherry trees as a means of 'claiming occupied territory as Japanese space'. Consider this as you pass below those lovely pink blossoms...

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4589609737 - 'Saltaire United Reformed Church is one of the UK's most precious Victorian architectural gems. The church was built by Sir Titus Salt in 1859 near Shipley along from Bradford, West Yorkshire. Its style is Italianate religious architecture. It has been described as a classic 'Cathedral of Congregationalism'.
Saltaire was Sir Titus Salt's legacy. Sir Titus Salt, 1st Baronet (20 September 1803 \u2013 29 December 1876), born in Morley, near Leeds, was a manufacturer, politician and philanthropist in Bradford, West Yorkshire, England. I find him pretty inspirational, he was certainly way ahead of his time. His father Daniel Salt was a fairly successful businessman and was able to send Titus to Batley Grammar School.
In 1833 he had taken over the running of his father's business and within twenty years had expanded it to be the largest employer in Bradford. In 1848 Titus Salt became mayor of Bradford. He had a social conscience and took steps to look for solutions to the pollution from the many factory chimneys in the city.
Around 1850, he decided to build a large mill to consolidate his textile manufacture in one place, but he 'did not like to be a party to increasing that already over-crowded borough', and he bought some land three miles from Bradford, adjacent to Shipley next to the River Aire. The Leeds and Liverpool Canal and the Midland Railway, main arteries of the day were adjacent.
Building of his mill was begun in 1851. He opened it with a grand banquet on his 50th birthday, 20 September 1853. Following that public conscience he then set about building the houses, bathhouses, institute, hospital, almshouses and churches, that make up Saltaire. very revolutionary for the time. Similar ventures were persued by the quaker chocolate barons at Bournville and by Rowntree in York. Salt built the Congregational Church pictured here (now Saltaire United Reformed Church) at his own expense in 1858\u201359. He donated the land on which the Wesleyan Chapel was built by public subscription in 1866\u201368.
Sir Titus commissioned architects Lockwood and Mawson to design the building, as they had designed a number of other important Italianate buildings in Bradford City centre.
His body is interred at a mausaleum at the church and can be viewed. Reportidly at his funeral 100,000 people lined the route. Many people had him to thank for his far sightedness and care for his fellow man.
The church today is grade I listed. The entrance is up six steps under a portico supported by six unfluted Corinthian columns and topped by a fretted tower with cupola.
Inside are hollow Corinthian columns with beautiful Scagliola exteriors, an Italian technique implemented by Mr. Dolan of Manchester. Two ornate chandeliers of ormolu and cut glass hang from the ceiling, of such great weight that additional roof trusses had to be inserted to support them. Originally lit by gas, they were made by Hausburg of Liverpool.
The existing organ, built by Peter Conacher and Co. of Huddersfield, was installed in 1890, rebuilt at the end of the Second World War.

He has had his face fungus now for well over 20 years. On one occasion when he had it shaved off at the barbers he was so unrecognisable that his next door neighbour thought he was a burgler, who had climbed into the back garden! He was simply unrecognisable!
Bob does alsorts around the centre which has now grown into quite a multi-faceted complex. There is even a working Brewery making traditionally crafted cask ales on the site. Yep I do have a nose for that kind of stuff!
In the course of history, men with facial hair have been ascribed various attributes such as wisdom and knowledge, sexual virility, masculinity, or high social status
and, conversely, filthiness, crudeness, or an eccentric disposition. In many cultures, beards are associated with nature and outdoorsmen. I remember in my mis-spent youth enjoying the band ZZ Top, strangely the only member of the band without a beard is in fact called Frank Beard (credited as Rube Beard on early LP's). However it must be said that he did in fact sport some facial hair, generally only a trimmed mustache.
In 1984, the Gillette Company (one of the worlds largest razor manufacturers) reportedly offered Gibbons and Hill (the bearded members of ZZ Top) $1 million each to shave their beards for a television commercial. They allegedly declined, saying 'We're too ugly without 'em'. Apparently the name came from blues guitar master B. B. King. The band had planned to call themselves ZZ. King, but felt it was too similar. Since B.B. King was at the 'top', they settled on ZZ Top.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4574527758 - 'Lucky Pete outside his traditional british chippy at 4 Winnington Lane, Northwich, Cheshire. I have had a few chip suppers from Petes when photographing gigs and bands just down the road at the w=33062170@N08\'>Winnington Park Rec'. I can recommend his fish in cajun spiced batter, just have some lager at the ready! His sign states 'Simply The Best Chippy In Winnington'. That cannot be denied as he has the 'only' chippy in Winnington, however he does do top chips!
Fish and chips, often referred to as national takeaway food of these islands originated in the victorian era. It is pretty much everywhere and even in rural areas, like Cornwall or Mull, it often arrives by mobile van in the evening. Around 1860, it is legend that the first fish and chip shop was opened in London by Jewish proprietor Joseph Malin who married together 'fish fried in the Jewish fashion' with thick chiped potatoes. In 1863 the chip shop reached Manchester, when a Mr Lees opened a shop in Mossley. Interestingly, throughout world war II, fish and chips remained one of the few foods in the United Kingdom not subject to rationing. Salt and vinegar (spirit preferred) or gravy usually goes with it.
Across britain, fish and chip shops offer a varied menu. Pete covers the usual staples
mushy peas, Dinaclass curry sauce, sausages, heated (but not fried) pies and suit puddings, gravy, fried chicken. Further north you can expect scallops (wide slices of potato in batter), deep fried Mars bars, deep fried pizza and haggis are popular in Scotland. In Edinburgh you would most likely buy a 'supper' with 'Salt n sauce' (watered down brown sauce - 'sottensauce'). In many places you can buy a whole picked egg or individual pickled onions too. In east Anglia and the south east fish roes or rock salmon can often be found.
Most places use vegatable oil these days, but a few proudly fry in lard (and generally have a sign outside shouting the fact). Waste frying oil is sometimes nowadays used to make bio-diesel. Older diesel cars can often run on it without modification. I would not try it in a HDI style engine though!
As a kid I remember the local chippy doing fizzy minerals too. Ben Shaws from Huddesfield with 2p back on the bottle, which was returned. Collect enough of those to take back and you had enough for a bag of chips with batter bits (and pea-wet if you couldn't afford a proper portion of green mushy peas). You always got it in newspaper too, that was before the possible perils of printers ink were legislated for. Still the terrible names are still there

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4569421476 - 'My first real experience of signal boxes was when my friend from the next year up in school Pete Williams used to blag me into the signalbox at Dinting on the Glossop to Piccadilly Manchester line. It had a chip pan, baby belling and all mod cons. I even remember the incumbent signalman holding a train for ten minutes while we finished our chips!
This is a panoramic shot of the Exeter West signal box, which is now located in original form at Crewe Heritage Centre, formerly the Crewe Railway Age. What's it doing here? you may reasonably ask.
Signalling in the Exeter area was renewed in 1985. this was part of the old GWR area (Great Western Railway or Gods Wonderful Railway as it can occasionally still be referred). It would have been demolished but for a group of enthusiasts who carefully dismantled it so it could be re-erected as a working museum demonstrating how the larger signal boxes of the past were. It indeed works virtually every weekend, trained 'signalmen' are present most weekends to describe and demonstrate signalling days of the past and answer questions from visitors.
Exeter West signalbox was built by the Great Western Railway in 1913. It was located at the west end of St. Davids station, controlling the junction for the London &
South Western Railway's line to Waterloo and connections to the Goods Lines avoiding the station, the engine sheds and various yards. The previous box was not spacious enough to accommodate the greater layout following enlargement of the station. The lengthy new signalbox contained a lever frame of 114 levers, but this was replaced in 1959 by an even larger new frame of 131 levers.
The signal box remained in use until 1985, when colour light signalling controlled electronically from a new box at Exeter was brought into use. After closure of the box, the Exeter West Group moved in and carefully dismantled the signal box, marking each of the hundreds of parts for future reference. The first task was to safely remove all furniture, then dismantle the massive lever frame. all pieces were numbered and after two floundered attempts to site the box in Bristol and Swindon, Crewe found space for it.
The 131-lever frame was rebuilt lever by lever, and the interlocking painstakingly reinstated, and was completed during August 1992. The instrument shelf and the signalling equipment was then added. The box was formally opened to the public on May Day Monday 1993.
With the box once more restored to its proper condition, a start was made on rigging up equipment to simulate activity as it would have been when the box was operational. Most of the levers have been weighted to simulate real operation, although some are actually connected to real signals erected around the site.
An electronic simulator has been provided, and the job working the simulator can be harder than working the box itself, for the operator has to act as signalman at all the adjacent boxes, make telephone calls representing local staff, and work the track circuit lights to emulate the passage of trains.
The box can be worked to the full summer timetable of the 1960's, although generally the box is demonstrated to visitors with a very limited timetable to allow movements and actions to be explained. However once a year, on May Day weekend, members of the Group occasionally simulate a full timetable for a 54-hour continuous period. At its busiest, this requires four staff in the box (just as it used to be) and two further operators controlling the simulator.
If you were wondering, black levers are for points, blue locking points red for signals and black/white for detonators.
Whether you find trains and railways fascinating or not, this is a really interesting place. a bit of a trip back in time at least 25 years to a more manual age. Oh and if you were wondering, they do have a baby Belling, which would be capable of doing chips!

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4521874232 - 'The classic Cadbury Creme Egg is manufactured to look like an egg inside and out. For the benefit of any one who has never seen a 171 calorie creme egg, it consists of a thick milk chocolate shell, housing a white and yellow filling made from egg, thick white cream, sugars and other additives. Creme Eggs are a best-selling confectionery item between New Year's Day and Easter in the UK (when sale stops). There are annual sales in excess of 200 million eggs and a brand value estimated of approximately \u00a345 million.
They are produced by Cadbury UK in the United Kingdom, and under licence by The Hershey Company in the United States. The eggs are manufactured at the Bournville factory in Birmingham with around 1.5 million being hatched from the production line each day.
While filled eggs were first manufactured by the Cadbury Brothers in 1923, the Creme Egg in its current form was introduced in 1971.
The Cadbury Creme Egg is manufactured by making a chocolate shell in a half-egg shaped mould, which is then filled with white fondant and a dab of yellow fondant to simulate the yolk. Two mould halves are closed very quickly and cooled to allow the chocolate to set. When the moulds are opened, the eggs fall onto a conveyor which transports them, first to the foiling machines and then to the finished packing.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4503896012 - 'Chris is the operations manager (M.Inst.ICCM to give him his proper title) at Northwich Town Council for cemetaries. He looks after the allocation of burial and cremation plots at Northwich and Rudheath in Cheshire. He is a great chap and I was inspired to have a little window into his job.
It is his job to catalog each interment and here he is looking at a ledger of burials from 1893 onwards. Documentation becomes sparse much before this. All of the records in Northwich are in fact paper records in ledgers like this, they have not yet been computerised or fully digitised. Often a usual day at his office is taken up at least in part by family tree enquiries and manual searches of the books of carefully hand written entries. The books are now getting quite worn and tired, some flaking and coming apart unfortunately.
I had quite a long interesting chat with Chris, who as you might expect had quite an enlightened view of death and burial. The British and indeed largly northern European view of it tend to keep it hidden. However it is the only one of two things we will all encounter in life, the second being tax.
Human burial practices are generally bourne from the human desire to demonstrate 'respect for the dead'. Also to prevent the possibilities of revenants harming the living.
Here are the main reasons for this-
Respect for the physical remains. If left lying on top of the ground, scavengers may eat the corpse, considered disrespectful to the deceased in many (but not all) cultures. In Tibet, Sky burials return the remains to the cycle of life and acknowledge the body as 'food,' a core tenet of some Buddhist practices. Parsi's in India expose the body to the air, birds, insects etc to be picked clean. This last one is not so far away from what ancient britons did when bones were picked clean then stored in communal chambers, as have been found in the Scotish hebrides and particularly on Mull.
Burial can be seen as an attempt to bring closure to the deceased's family and friends. Psychologists in some Western Judeo-Christian quarters, as well as the US funeral industry, claim that by interring a body away from plain view, the pain of losing a loved one can be lessened.
Many cultures believe in an afterlife. Burial is sometimes believed to be a necessary step for an individual to reach the afterlife.
Many religions prescribe a particular way to live, which includes customs relating to disposal of the dead.
He is seeing a rise in green / natural funerals. Bodies buried five to ten feet down in a wicker or biodegradable container, sometimes not even in a traditional cemetary setting. Cremation is becoming ever more popular too. Suffice to say, Chris and the job he does should be safe for sometime to come.

Being a bloke the correct choice of a well fitted bra has not really been one of my problems. As several women have told me over the years, finding a good shop that understands this is generally worth its weight in gold. Linda has some useful hints and tips on her website and I am sure if you take yourself in to see her, you will be in good hands. She can no doubt guide you through the minefield of types

The quantity of underwiring in some bra's is now becoming an issue with enhanced metal detector checks at airports. Triumph International have launched a 'Frequent Flyer Bra'. This oneuses metal free clasps and resin underwires instead of steel that are guaranteed to not set off metal detectors.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4443599673 - 'I cycled on my bike the 50 minute journey to this excellent grade II listed country pub many times. The George and Dragon in the Cheshire Village of Great Budworth was originally under control of the Arley Hall estate. Its original origins are thought to go back to 1722, according to a stone inside inscribed in latin. Its picturesque look is mainly down to vanity in victorian times when Rowland Egerton-Warburton (lord of the manor) decided a makeover (a'la changing rooms) was in order. The village and pub were not picturesque enough apparently. The architect John Douglas was dispatched from the city of Chester to add elaborate tall chimneys, a turret and fancy mullioned windows.
The pub sign is very interesting, similar in make up to those seen on inns on the Rhine, south of Cologne, Germany. The cut-out pictorial sign itself came from Nuremberg. The hefty bracket it hangs from was a product of a local smithy. Above the inner door can be seen a stone containing a verse written by Rowland Egerton-Warburton.

Here is how I have often seen it. Possibly Bauhaus missed a trick in not using it as an album cover. It's reputed to be the home of Marion Braidfute, legendary wife of William Wallace. i have never stayed long enough to check if it has a pub or not.
There is a cake/desert called a 'Lamington'. Lamingtons are named after Charles Cochrane-Baillie, 2nd Baron Lamington, who served as Governor of Queensland from 1896 to 1901. According to legend Lamingtons were first served in Toowoomba when Lord Lamington took his entourage to Harlaxton House to escape the steamy heat of Brisbane. Lord Lamington was believed to have hated the dessert that had been named in his honour, referring to them as 'those bloody poofy woolly biscuits'.

Its one of my favourite spices, ground on to most things I eat if needed or not. Also, a few slipped into boiling rice to go with a curry sauce.
Black pepper is a native plant of South India and is extensively grown there and elsewhere in tropical regions. The pink balls of the fresh fruit can be seen on the trees and when crushed in its raw state has a sweet pepper aroma. Green peppercorns are just the immature fruits.
Cochin in southern india is a major spice centre and it is easy to visit some of the spice warehouses etc. I remember when backpacking around Cochin there was the smell of pepper in the air and quite often you were crushing escapee peppercorns underfoot - marvellous.

Aronson patented it and sold it under the Ronson brand name. I remember cool mates and arsonists having Ronson petrol and gas lighters in the early 1980's.
In the new age of largely 'matchless' smoking (and in pubs, smoking outside, spilling onto the street in the UK and Ireland), Ronson now manufacture mainly disposables like this one.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4352551482 - 'Extreme macro of a chip embedded into a UK Mastercard credit card. As used several times a week by the majority of the population. This stuff is better than money.
Chip and Pin heralded a new secure era in cardholder present card use.
Some food for thought however, it has been recently claimed that chip and pin can be possibly comprimised.
On 11 February 2010 Murdoch and Drimer's team at Cambridge University announced that they had found 'a flaw in chip and PIN so serious they think it shows that the whole system needs a re-write' that was 'so simple that it shocked them' A stolen card is connected to an electronic circuit and to a fake card which is inserted into the terminal. Any 4 digits are typed in and accepted as a valid PIN. A team from the BBC's Newsnight programme visited a Cambridge University cafeteria (with permission) with the system, and were able to pay using their own cards (a thief would use stolen cards) connected to the circuit, inserting a fake card and typing in '0000' as the PIN. The transactions were registered as normal, and were not picked up by banks' security systems. A member of the research team said 'Even small-scale criminal systems have better equipment than we have. The amount of technical sophistication needed to carry out this attack is really quite low'. It is not known if this vulnerability has been exploited.
When approached for comment, several banks each said that this was an industry-wide issue, and referred the Newsnight team to the banking trade association for further comment. According to Phil Jones of the Consumers' Association, chip and PIN has helped to bring down instances of card crime, but many cases remain unexplained 'What we do know is that we do have cases that are brought forward from individuals which seem quite persuasive'.
Originally bank customers had to prove that they had not been negligent with their PIN before getting redress, but UK regulations in force from 1November 2009 placed the onus firmly on the banks to prove that a customer has been negligent in any dispute, with the customer given 13 months to make a claim. Murdoch said that '[the banks] should look back at previous transactions where the customer said their PIN had not been used and the bank record showed it has, and consider refunding these customers because it could be they are victim of this type of fraud'.
Drimer and Murdoch published a paper with Ross Anderson on the closely related topic of 'Failures of Tamper-Proofing in PIN Entry Devices' in IEEE Security and Privacy, November/December 2009
At 7:30pm on 11 Feb 2010 on the BBC website, Tim Howell wrote regarding this matter:
Nevermind that, I think the refectory in Cambridge are the big thieves...

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4343989477 - 'We have all had one fill a chest pocket of a shirt in the office with blue or black gunge at some point. Here is a Parker Arrow ball point pen (as named after George Safford Parker - founder) using an extreme macro lens. (20mm Olympus OM Macro) The viscous ink is clearly visable. This one was given to me on my 21st birthday by my second cousin. It was incorrectly engraved originally with her name and phone number instead of mine. Maura might not thank me for pointing that out 8-)
A ballpoint pen has an internal chamber filled with a viscous ink that is dispensed at the tip during use by the rolling action of a small metal sphere. This is around 0.7mm to 1.2mm in diameter of brass, steel or tungsten carbide.
They are often called Biro's in Britain, named after contested inventor L\u00e1szl\u00f3 B\u00edr\u00f3. The first patent on a ballpoint pen was issued on 30/10/1888, to a John Loud. He was a leather tanner, attempting to make a writing implement that would be able to write on the leather he tanned, which the then-common fountain pen couldn't. The pen had a rotating small steel ball, held in place by a socket. Although the pen could be used to mark rough surfaces such as leather, as Loud intended, it proved to be too coarse for letter writing and was not commercially exploited.
L\u00e1szl\u00f3 B\u00edr\u00f3, a Hungarian newspaper editor, was frustrated by the amount of time that he wasted in filling up fountain pens and cleaning up smudged pages, and the sharp tip of his fountain pen often tore his pages of newsprint. B\u00edr\u00f3 had noticed that the type of ink used in newspaper printing dried quickly, leaving the paper dry and smudge free. He decided to create a pen using the same type of ink. Since, when tried, this viscous ink would not flow into a regular fountain pen nib, B\u00edr\u00f3, with the help of his brother George, a chemist, began to work on designing new types of pens. B\u00edr\u00f3 fitted this pen with a tiny ball in its tip that was free to turn in a socket. As the pen moved along the paper, the ball rotated, picking up ink from the ink cartridge and leaving it on the paper. B\u00edr\u00f3 filed a British patent on 15/06/1938.
An interesting fact is that all ballpoint ink formulas are non-toxic, and the manufacturing and content of the ink is regulated in most countries.

When made, most of the world map was still pink and the British Empire ran like clockwork. Today its own clockwork doesn't run that smooth.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4334926783 - 'Quite an unassuming place Warrington Museum, Cheshire seems, when looked at while being dragged around at high speed by a young child.
The museum is one of the oldest municipal museums in the UK and reflects something of the important local Victorians around at the time (1848), their interests and travels. It is a grade II listed building and houses fossils, Egyptian artefacts as well as relics of the old Warrington industries such as steel (particularly wire), clocks, textiles, brewing, tanning and chemicals are on display.
Since designation as new town, it is hard to see the old history beyond the shopping sites and new roads and buildings.
It can be regarded as a dormitory town for manchester or Liverpool and to wait on central station for the 08:13 sort of confirms that stereotype, particularly the stand in the corridor until Birchwood. Slightly shamefully hat was how I came to live in Warrington many years ago.
If you have time, spend a quarter of an hour in this little municipal jewel box. Slide out some fossil draws and check out how it used to be.

The image I took from my ipod (like the MP3 sound I was getting) was no match for the real thing, a genuine 12' 45rpm single of the B5.
I saw them live in 1980 and they were more memorable than the headline band they supported.
Of course they were produced by the great but mis-guided Martin Hannet, who no doubt helped them achieve their unique Reggae-Punk sound.
I would recommend any music fan to checkout 'Who Killed Martin Hannett?: The Story of Factory Records' Musical Magician' or the excellent CD 'Zero: A Martin Hannett Story 1979-1991'
However do avoid 'In the Studio With Martin Hannett' - you will be dissapointed, sorely.
He was a big user of narcotics and drink, and this was to eventually hasten his death at the age of 41. Just before he died he had ballooned to 26 stone (364 pounds) and his coffin could not fit in the ground.
He was the total musical pioneer, always searching to create his own unique sound.
Of many 'Martin Hannett' Stories, one favourite is about when he once fell asleep over the mixing desk, his gigantic belly spreading and pushing the faders across the board, so that the sound went berserk -- the band stopped playing, and woke him up telling him that the levels were all over the place. 'Bollocks,' he replied, 'that's the best you've sounded all f---ing day.'
Interesting too that producer on this cut is Chris Nagle, also later involved with Clayton lads Gabrielle\u2019s Wish and Jane Weaver's Kill Laura - www.flickr.com/photos/hotpixuk/3809868192/

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy MHM6BA - . A grounded documentary photograph made at the recorded location in 2018, combining the immediate subject with evidence of the surrounding streetscape, public realm, business activity or local character. At the centre of the view is Sandrena Hormone Replacement Therapy HRT, Estradiol, drug for transdermal use on skin. The frame also records themes of local character, period building, community identity, regional identity, architectural detail, changing streetscape, period architecture, everyday life, contemporary social history, urban fabric, cityscape history, conservation interest, social history, and conservation architecture. The modern context includes continuing discussion of heritage conservation, planning control and keeping older buildings useful without erasing their distinctive character. For later comparison, the photograph preserves materials and architectural details at the recorded location, details that may look very different after replacement signage. A second descriptive layer includes visual archive, historic townscape, historic streetscape, architectural character, changing land use, period detail, before-and-after reference, and local history. Elements such as Replacement, Therapy, Estradiol, Hormone, and transdermal add documentary specificity and may become increasingly useful when compared with later records. For the recorded location, the photograph contributes to a cumulative visual history in which changes in use, signs, access and appearance can be traced over time. The setting also helps illustrate heritage conservation and keeping older buildings useful without erasing their distinctive character within the specific setting of the recorded location. The image also provides a reference for energy retrofit and how historic buildings acquire new uses as cities change as part of the longer story of the recorded location. The photograph keeps part of the area's social history within the wider story of the recorded location.

Photographed on 18 August 2017, this summer image records the subject in its real-world setting and provides a contemporary visual reference for the place, activity, object or organisation shown.

Key searchable subjects associated with the scene include sign, signs, accommodating, pointing, arrow, way, LGBTQ, lavatory, lavatories, him, her, she, providing natural SEO coverage without losing the specific documentary identity of the photograph. The wording and graphic design are important parts of the image, preserving contemporary language, typography, branding or campaigning material that may later disappear or change. 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. Its value is both descriptive and editorial, allowing the scene to illustrate news, features, local history, travel, social change and retrospective comparison. Visible or contextual elements such as architecture, signage, branding, public realm, transport infrastructure, street furniture and everyday activity help establish a strong sense of place where they form part of the scene. The composition retains practical contextual detail for news, feature, documentary, educational and historical use.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8HD4T - . Bling iPhone golden diamond encrusted. Photographed on 1 January 2010. The recorded location is England, UK. Mobile phone cover, with selective colour. The historical context is that smartphones compressed the functions of camera, telephone, music player, map, diary and internet terminal into a single personal device, transforming everyday communication during the 2000s and 2010s
Luxury cases, metallic finishes and decorative customisation also turned technology into fashion and a visible status object. Looking at the subject's development, everyday technology provides a compact history of design and changing behaviour
Rotary dials, thermionic valves, mechanical keypads, film cameras and early televisions were once ordinary equipment but now illustrate obsolete standards, manufacturing methods and patterns of work or communication. The subject remains topical in 2026 because smartphones are mature everyday infrastructure, with attention shifting towards artificial intelligence, privacy, repairability, camera capability and the environmental cost of frequent upgrades
Earlier customised phones provide a useful contrast with today's premium devices and increasingly long software-support cycles. For the 2026 context, technology is dominated by connected devices, cloud services and rapid product cycles
Historic hardware therefore provides a valuable counterpoint to contemporary debates about electronic waste, right-to-repair, data dependence and the speed with which once-common devices become obsolete. Historically, consumer electronics date quickly because models, finishes and accessories evolution at high speed
An older iPhone or decorated handset can therefore document both the evolution of mobile technology and the way personal devices became fashion accessories as well as communications tools. Related search language includes luxury phone, customised handset, digital lifestyle, personal technology, status symbol, and mobile communications.

The subject can illustrate red-light districts, nightlife, censorship, gender politics, neon typography, city economies after dark and the uneasy boundary between entertainment, exploitation and visual culture. The location wording gives the subject enough geographic context for local and regional editorial use while avoiding a generic studio feel. It can work both as a straightforward location record and as a wider editorial illustration of the habits, services, buildings, symbols and small commercial details that shape everyday life.

The named location, Warrington, makes the scene useful where regional accuracy matters, including local press, travel features, planning stories and heritage articles. Possible editorial uses include articles on signage, street sign, commercial sign, public notice, especially where the story needs a concrete example rather than a studio illustration. Important searchable clues include woman, poster, distracting, drivers, warrington, boohoo, giving the description both factual precision and broader editorial reach.
