Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EGG7X7 - A surviving admission ticket for U2's PopMart Tour concert at Roundhay Park, Leeds, West Yorkshire, on Thursday 28 August 1997. The colourful ticket carries the oversized U2 PopMart Tour '97 branding, a stylised globe and supermarket-inspired graphics that reflected the visual language of the band's ambitious 1997“98 stadium tour. It records the Roundhay Park venue, a £29.50 ticket price, gates opening at 5pm and a 7pm showtime. PopMart was mounted in support of U2's ninth studio album, Pop, released in March 1997, and deliberately played with themes of mass marketing, consumerism and pop culture. Its famously extravagant production used a huge LED video screen, a towering yellow arch, a giant olive and a mirrorball lemon, turning the stadium concert into a deliberately kitsch multimedia spectacle. U2's official tour archive confirms the Leeds show as part of the European leg, between Belfast on 26 August and Dublin on 30 August. The Roundhay performance opened with Mofo and included I Will Follow, New Year's Day, Pride (In the Name of Love), I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, Where the Streets Have No Name, Discothèque, With or Without You, Mysterious Ways and One. Liverpool indie rock band Cast were the opening act. Contemporary tour records give the Leeds concert an attendance of about 53,917 and describe it as sold out. Roundhay Park, one of Leeds's best-known public parks, has a long history as a venue for major outdoor concerts
Leeds City Council describes the park as covering more than 700 acres around three miles north of the city centre. This retained paper ticket is now a piece of late-1990s music memorabilia, documenting an era before smartphone tickets and QR-code entry became normal and recalling U2 at the height of large-scale stadium touring, as well as the graphic design and pricing of British live music in 1997. The ticket also preserves the physical, collectible character of pre-digital concert admission.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 3EGG814 - Photograph of an original printed concert ticket for U2 live at Elland Road Stadium, Leeds, West Yorkshire, on Wednesday 1 July 1987, during the European leg of The Joshua Tree Tour. The ticket carries the large U2 logo, band portrait imagery of Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr, the words MCP presents , plus Special Guests , Elland Road Leeds , the date, 4.00 pm show time, 2.00 pm gates opening, £14.00 ticket price including VAT, block, row and seat details, and the warning No camping is allowed . It is a strong editorial image for searches about U2 memorabilia, 1980s rock, stadium concerts, The Joshua Tree era, music history, live music ticket design, Leeds events, Elland Road concerts and collectible paper ephemera. The Leeds show is documented as taking place on 1 July 1987 at Elland Road Stadium as part of The Joshua Tree Tour, with specialist U2 concert archive sources listing support from The Fall, The Mission and The Pretenders, making the ticket a useful visual record of a major outdoor rock event in northern England. Elland Road is best known as the home of Leeds United, but this image reflects its wider use as a large music and events venue as well as a football stadium. The ticket's blue patterned security background, gold and black typography, portrait panel and visible serial numbers help place it in the era before digital tickets, mobile entry and barcode scanning, when physical concert tickets were keepsakes as well as access documents. The worn paper, creases and aged print add documentary value, suggesting a surviving souvenir from one of the defining rock tours of the late 1980s. Useful themes include U2, Bono, Joshua Tree Tour, Elland Road, Leeds, 1987, vintage ticket, concert memorabilia, live music, arena rock, Irish rock band, eighties culture, stadium gig, West Yorkshire, collectors, nostalgia, pop culture archive, music heritage and historic entertainment ephemera.

Description: Tony Smith image Flickr 4760224848 - 'The history of smoking can be dated to as early as 5000 BC, and has been recorded in many different cultures across the world. Early smoking evolved in association with religious ceremonies
as offerings to deities, in cleansing rituals or to allow shamans and priests to alter their minds for purposes of divination or spiritual enlightenment.
After the European exploration and conquest of the Americas, the practice of smoking tobacco quickly spread to the rest of the world. In regions like India and Subsaharan Africa, it merged with existing practices of smoking (mostly of cannabis). In Europe, it introduced a new type of social activity and a form of drug intake which previously had been unknown.
Perception surrounding smoking has varied over time and from one place to another
holy and sinful, sophisticated and vulgar, a panacea and deadly health hazard. Only relatively recently, and primarily in industrialized Western countries, has smoking come to be viewed in a decidedly negative light.
Today medical studies have proven that smoking tobacco is among the leading causes of many diseases such as lung cancer, heart attacks, erectile dysfunction and can also lead to birth defects. The inherent health hazards of smoking have caused many countries to institute high taxes on tobacco products and anti-smoking campaigns are launched every year in an attempt to curb tobacco smoking.
Due to the smoking ban in pubs and other public places, many businesses are suffering. Only last week a news item suggested 'Expectant mothers to be given smoking breath tests: Health watchdog tells midwives to challenge all pregnant women' in the UK Daily Mail which stated:
'Last night midwives reacted with fury to the guidance - saying the tests could undermine trust by forcing them virtually to accuse new mothers of lying.
And critics rounded on NICE, which was set up by Labour to assess which drugs and treatments should be available on the NHS, accusing it straying beyond its remit by seeking to influence yet more aspects of people's lives.
Strange that the Daily Mail still managed to blame Labour for the advice although we have now had a collonic Government of Tories and Libdems for the last two months around here. Still if encouraging mothers to give up for the sake of the health of their offspring, can that be so bad. Nothing says they cannot spark up again if really desperate after giving birth, does it?

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy DDJNTK - British GP FIA Grand Prix F1 Tickets from Silverstone England UK, NN12 8GX · is a useful documentary subject because it fixes a recognisable place, object or activity in its real setting rather than presenting it as a staged illustration. The scene records a specific piece of everyday place-based detail, the sort of subject that often says more about local identity, work, leisure, transport or consumption than a polished landmark view would. Its value is in the recognisable setting, readable clues and documentary directness, making it useful for editorial coverage of changing streets, public services, heritage, retail habits and ordinary life in Britain and beyond. The location detail, Silverstone, NN12 8GX, strengthens searches for regional features, travel pages, local-history pieces and news use where a named place matters. Relevant editorial themes include Formula One, British Grand Prix, Silverstone, motorsport, railway station, passenger rail, train travel and public transport, with each theme rooted in the visible subject, place or activity. It would suit newspaper, magazine, web, council, transport, heritage, housing, retail, travel or social-commentary use where a believable, unpolished view of real life is more valuable than a generic illustration.
