Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2X5K8DM - A close-up photograph of a red British Rail double-arrow sign displaying the name Grangetown at Grangetown railway station in Cardiff, Wales. The sign is mounted against a stone wall beneath elevated rail infrastructure, reflecting the practical, utilitarian design associated with Britain's urban railway stations.
Grangetown railway station serves the Grangetown district to the south-west of Cardiff city centre and originally opened in 1884 during a period of rapid railway expansion driven by industrial growth and the development of Cardiff as a major port city. The station historically supported workers travelling to and from the docks and nearby industrial areas, playing a role in the economic life of the city during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Today, Grangetown station forms part of the South Wales rail network, with passenger services operated by Transport for Wales. The station provides frequent local services to Cardiff Central, as well as onward connections along the Vale of Glamorgan line, including destinations such as Penarth, Barry, and Bridgend, depending on service patterns. These routes support daily commuting, education, leisure travel, and access to Cardiff's central business, retail, and transport hubs.
The continued presence of the British Rail double-arrow symbol highlights the enduring legacy of national railway branding introduced in the 1960s, which remains a widely recognised icon across the UK rail system despite changes in operators and governance. The station itself reflects the layered history of Welsh rail transport, combining Victorian-era origins with modern commuter use in a growing capital city.
This image is suitable for editorial use illustrating railway history in Wales, urban commuter transport, public transport infrastructure in Cardiff, British rail branding, and the role of local stations in supporting sustainable travel and city connectivity.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2X9BPB3 - A close-up image of bilingual construction signage for the Cardiff Metro project displayed in Cardiff city centre, Wales. The sign features both Welsh and English text reading Rydym ni'n adeiladu eich Metro and We're building your Metro, alongside the Metro branding associated with Transport for Wales.
The Cardiff Metro forms part of the wider South Wales Metro programme, a major public transport investment aimed at modernising rail, tram-train, and bus connections across Cardiff and the surrounding region. Bilingual signage such as this reflects Wales's commitment to the Welsh language and its integration into everyday public life and infrastructure projects.
Brightly coloured and highly visible, the sign is designed to communicate long-term transport improvement works to the public, highlighting themes of urban regeneration, sustainable travel, and reduced car dependency. The image captures how large-scale infrastructure projects are communicated visually within city environments.
This photograph is suitable for editorial use illustrating transport investment in Wales, bilingual Welsh signage, urban infrastructure projects, public transport development, government-funded construction schemes, and contemporary city regeneration in Cardiff.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RFEPXP - The exterior of a UK Government office building in Central Square, Cardiff, featuring large bilingual signage reading Llywodraeth y DU and UK Government. The use of Welsh alongside English reflects statutory bilingual requirements for central government operations in Wales and highlights the visibility of the Welsh language within official public life.
The building forms part of Cardiff's Central Square redevelopment, a major urban regeneration project that has brought together transport infrastructure, government offices and commercial development adjacent to Cardiff Central railway station. The glass-fronted design and open public forecourt reflect contemporary approaches to civic architecture, emphasising accessibility, transparency and modern working environments for civil servants.
Photographed in daylight with people entering and leaving the building, the image documents everyday government activity in the Welsh capital. It is suitable for editorial use relating to public administration, bilingualism, devolution, modern government workplaces, and urban regeneration in Wales.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RFEPY5 - Jobcentre Plus (Welsh: Canolfan byd Gwaith
Scottish Gaelic: Ionad Obrach is Eile) is a brand used by the Department for Work and Pensions in the United Kingdom.
From 2002 to 2011, Jobcentre Plus was an executive agency which reported directly to the Minister of State for Employment. It was formed by the amalgamation of two agencies, the Employment Service, which operated Jobcentres, and the Benefits Agency, which ran social security offices.
Role of Jobcentre Plus
Jobcentre Plus was an executive agency of the Department for Work and Pensions of the government of the United Kingdom between 2002 and 2011. The functions of Jobcentre Plus were subsequently provided directly through the Department for Work and Pensions. The agency provided services primarily to those attempting to find employment and to those requiring the issuing of a financial provision due to, in the first case, lack of employment, of an allowance to assist with the living costs and expenditure intrinsic to the effort to achieve employment, or in all other cases the provision of social-security benefit as the result of a person without an income from employment due to illness-incapacity including drug addiction. The organisation acted from within the government's agenda for community and social welfare. Services were provided in the first instance via in-house job-advisors and advisors contacted via telephony. An information technology system known as the Labour Market System (LMS) contained the personal details of job seekers and advertised job vacancies for employers within each of the public offices.
Between 2012 and 2018 a government website named Universal Jobmatch was used whereby jobseekers could search for employment and employers could upload and manage their own vacancies whilst searching for prospective employees.
Claims may be made for working-age benefits such as Jobseeker's Allowance, Incapacity Benefit, Employment and Support Allowance, Income Support or the new Universal Credit

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RFEPY8 - This image shows a purple neon sign displaying the words Escape Rooms Cardiff, photographed against a dark background that accentuates the vivid glow of the illuminated lettering. The sign uses bold, stylised typography and continuous neon-style tubing, creating a strong visual identity associated with modern leisure and entertainment venues.
The lighting suggests an indoor or low-light environment, likely within or near the entrance of an escape room attraction. The rich purple hue stands out sharply against the surrounding darkness, producing a high-contrast, contemporary look that reflects the immersive and playful nature of escape room experiences.
Escape rooms have become a popular form of urban entertainment across UK cities, offering interactive puzzle-solving activities for groups, tourists, and corporate team-building. The sign represents this growing leisure sector within Cardiff's city-centre entertainment economy.
The photograph captures the use of neon and LED lighting as a branding tool in modern hospitality and leisure spaces, combining visual impact with a sense of nighttime energy and experiential appeal.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RFER17 - A fish and chip shop, sometimes referred to as a chip shop or chippy, is a restaurant that specialises in selling fish and chips. Usually, fish and chip shops provide takeaway service, although some have seating facilities. Fish and chip shops may also sell other foods, including variations on their core offering such as battered sausage and burgers, to regional cuisine such as Greek or Indian food.
Variations on the name include fish bar, fishery (in Yorkshire), fish shop and chip shop. In the United Kingdom including Northern Ireland, they are colloquially known as a chippy or fishy, while in the rest of Ireland and the Aberdeen area, they are known as chippers.
A blue plaque at Oldham's Tommyfield Market in England marks the 1860s origin of the fish and chip shop and fast food industries. In 1928, Harry Ramsden's fast food restaurant chain opened in the UK. On a single day in 1952, his fish and chip shop in Guiseley, West Yorkshire, served 10,000 portions of fish and chips, earning itself a place in the Guinness Book Of Records
The word chip shop is first recorded by the Oxford English Dictionary in 1892. Chippy or chippie was first recorded in 1961. Occasionally the type of fish will be specified, as in 'Cod-n-Chips'
Many British villages, suburbs, towns and cities have fish and chip shops, especially near coastal regions.
Fish and chip outlets sell roughly 30% of all the white fish consumed in the United Kingdom, and they use 10% of the UK potato crop
In Ireland, many chippers are operated by Italian immigrant families, all native to the Province of Frosinone in Lazio. The Italian chip shop tradition began with Giuseppe Cervi, who took a boat to America in the 1880s but instead disembarked at Queenstown (modern-day Cobh in County Cork) and walked to Dublin, establishing a takeaway at 22 Great Brunswick Street (modern-day Pearse Street)

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2RBN9EC - This image shows a traditional No Ball Games sign, commonly found on UK council and social housing estates, mounted against a dark brick wall. Such signs have been widely used by local authorities and housing providers to regulate play and reduce noise, damage, or nuisance in shared residential spaces.
The phrase No Ball Games has become a cultural shorthand in Britain, often referenced in discussions about urban childhood, public space, social housing management, and community control. While originally intended as a practical estate-management measure, the signage is now frequently used symbolically in media and policy commentary about youth provision, play spaces, and social behaviour.
The image is well suited to editorial and conceptual use covering social housing, council estates, urban life, local government policy, childhood and play, community rules, and British social history, as well as nostalgic or critical perspectives on post-war housing design and regulation.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2PH9M6E - Llandudno Pier is a Grade II* listed pier in the seaside resort of Llandudno, North Wales, United Kingdom. At 2,295 feet (700 m), the pier is the longest in Wales and the fifth longest in England and Wales. In 2005, was voted Pier of the Year 2005 by the members of the National Piers Society.
At the end of the pier is a deep-water landing stage, completely rebuilt for the third time in 1969, which is used by the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company for occasional excursions to Douglas, Isle of Man, and for an annual visit of the PS Waverley or the MV Balmoral preserved steamers. The June 2007 sailings of the Balmoral were rescheduled to start at Menai Bridge Pier, after it emerged that Llandudno Pier's Landing Stage was no longer safe to use. The Landing Stage was rebuilt in 2012 and the MV Balmoral called there, the first ship since 2006, on 2 July 2015. In the present day the landing stage is no longer used for steamers but has its use as a platform for anglers to fish off the end of the pier and is not accessible to the general public.
Located on the coast of North Wales between Bangor and Colwyn Bay, the pier is very unusual in that it has two entrances, one on the promenade at North Parade and the other, the original entrance, on Happy Valley Road (Which is no longer used and is locked permanently) Between the two entrances is the Grand Hotel.
The pier had its origins in a much shorter pier of just 242 feet (74 m) built on 16 wooden piles, opened in 1858 by the St George's Harbour and Railway Company
The present pier was designed by civil engineers Sir James William Brunlees (1816-92, knighted 1886) and Alexander McKerrow (1837-1920) and built by the contractor John Dixon for the Llandudno Pier Company. After the original designs were approved on 29 May 1876 by Parliament, the town's Improvement Commissioners and the Mostyn Estate, revised designs for the ornamental ironwork and elaborate kiosks were worked on by the architects Charles Henry Driver

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2P6JHK5 - The North and South Wales Bank (also known as the Wales Bank) was formed in Liverpool in 1836 and was originally located in premises in James Street, Liverpool
The bank envisaged a branch system that would extend throughout Wales, despite the challenges concerning transport and communication, as there were no railways in Wales at this time.
A provisional committee of Liverpool merchants, manufacturers and businessmen appointed a deputation to visit Welsh towns and London for interviews with leaders of the nobility and gentry of Wales and the Welsh Members of Parliament.
Establishment of branches in Wales
Upon formation the bank commenced taking over a number of private banks. In addition the bank started to establish branches in several towns in North Wales. In order to expand into South Wales a deputation was sent there to assess the potential for new branches.
In the first year of operations the bank had established 13 branches and 10 sub-branches, the furthest one being 100 miles from Liverpool.
The collapse of the Northern & Central Bank of England, a Manchester bank, which has 40 branches, many in North Wales led to eight of these branches being taken over by the bank.
The branches at Bishop's Castle, Newtown, Powys and Welshpool were all opened on 30 May 1836. The branches at Llanfyllin and Oswestry were opened on 8 June 1836. The branch at Ruthin was opened on 27 June 1836. The branch at Llanrwst was opened on 1 July 1836. The branches at Caernarfon and Chester were opened on 4 July 1836. The branch at Mold, Flintshire was opened on 9 August 1836 and the branch at Wrexham was opened on 19 September 1836. These eleven branches became part of Midland Bank from 1908, helping to establish their branch network in Wales.
The bank took over an Aberystwyth bank called Bank y Llong on 15 August 1836 and had a branch at New Street, Aberystwyth from about 1864 to 1885, the bank then moved to a building on the south side of Great Darkgate Street

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2M904Y9 - In February Royal Mail introduced barcodes to stamps. These will include regular everyday' Definitive stamps the ones with the profile of HM The Queen, as well as Christmas stamps.
Each barcode is unique and an integral part of the stamp, so when using these new stamps you must keep the barcode attached otherwise they are invalid.
Stamps without a barcode can be used until 31 Jan 2023 and will continue to be sold until stocks are exhausted. Barcoded and non-barcoded stamps can be used together on one item if required.
Royal Mail are encouraging customers to use up their non-barcoded stamps before 31 Jan 2023. Where this is not possible, non-barcoded stamps can exchanged using Royal Mail's 'Swap Out' scheme.
Please note, stamps cannot be exchanged in Post Office branches

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2R59X72 - This image shows bilingual signage at the entrance to Cardiff Market, also known in Welsh as Marchnad Caerdydd, located in the heart of Cardiff city centre. The sign prominently displays the Welsh-language name above the English wording Cardiff Market, reflecting Wales's official bilingual status and the everyday public use of the Welsh language.
Cardiff Market is a Grade II listed Victorian indoor market dating back to the late 19th century and has long been a focal point for local trade, food retail, and social life in the Welsh capital. The use of Welsh alongside English on public signage is part of a wider national effort to promote and normalise the Welsh language in civic spaces.
The photograph captures the arched architectural detail of the market entrance, with decorative lighting adding warmth and atmosphere, suggesting an evening or festive setting. The combination of historic typography, traditional materials, and bilingual text highlights the intersection of heritage, language, and contemporary urban life in modern Wales.
This image is well suited to editorial use covering Welsh language policy, bilingual Britain, Welsh culture and identity, historic markets, Cardiff tourism, and the preservation of civic heritage in Wales.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K56CWT - GDPR to be scrapped in favour of UK data privacy regime
The UK will scrap the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the European Union's data privacy regime, and replace it with an alternative system in the UK, the digital and culture secretary Michelle Donelan has told the Conservative Party conference.
Donelan said the proposed new system, details of which have not yet been revealed, will be simpler and clearer for businesses to navigate.
No longer will our businesses be shackled by lots of unnecessary red tape, said Donelan. We will be replacing GDPR with our own business and consumer-friendly British data protection system.
Our plan will protect consumer privacy and keep their data safe, whilst retaining our data adequacy so businesses can trade freely.
The GDPR, which aims to enhance individuals' rights to their own personal data, took effect across the UK, the EU and the European Economic Area (EEA) in May 2018. It applies to all businesses that process data held by anyone in these regions, regardless of where the business is based.
The Data Reform Bill introduced in the summer is on hold while ministers review their approach. Nadine Norris, the former digital and culture secretary, said in June that measures in the bill would increase financial penalties for those pestering people with nuisance calls and minimise the number of cookie pop-ups people see on the internet.
Donelan's speech in Birmingham came after the prime minister announced the exemption of tens of thousands of employers from reporting obligations such as gender pay gap reporting as part of a sweeping package of reforms to cut red tape.
Small and medium-sized businesses with fewer than 250 employees are currently exempt from regulatory requirements such as gender pay gap and executive pay ratio reporting.
The government yesterday increased this threshold to 500 employees for all new regulations under development and said that it would apply this to retained EU law

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2K11P0H - Manchester public art: Robert Owen on corner of Balloon Street and Corporation Street
The statue of Robert Owen, which is located on the corner of Balloon Street and Corporation Street, is a copy of a sculpture deigned by Gilbert Bayes
Robert Owen was a Welsh reformer who moved to Manchester as a teenager.
He became heavily involved in the cotton industry and, with the help of several Manchester businessmen, went on to buy a large textile factory near Glasgow.
Here he put into practice values of sound working conditions, introduced a minimum age and provided nurseries and schools.
He also opened stores where workers could buy good quality goods at little more than the wholesale cost.
These principles became the basis for the cooperative shops in Britain.
His statue, on corner of Balloon Street and Corporation Street, is a copy of the one erected in Owen's birthplace of Newtown.
It was commissioned by the Co-operative Bank as part of the 150th anniversary of the modern co-operative movement and was unveiled in 1994.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JR3MND - Tory government has launched a defensive social media campaign after MPs faced anger from their constituents over last week's sewage vote, in which an amendment to the environment bill that would have placed a legal duty on water companies not to pump waste into rivers was voted down.
Many Conservative MPs posted almost identical statements on Monday morning after a weekend of anger over the vote. Government sources confirmed to the Guardian that the information in these posts had been supplied by No 10.
MPs including Steve Brine, Ben Everitt, Michael Fabricant, Anne Marie Morris and Sally-Ann Hart published similar explainers about the vote on their websites.
Only 22 Conservatives rebelled against the government last week, after the environment secretary, George Eustice, recommended that MPs vote against the amendment.
Martin Salter, the chief policy adviser of the Angling Trust, said: We know from the unconvincing, identikit replies received by our members that government MPs had been instructed to issue with a standard response to constituents which avoided the question of taking action to combat sewage pollution in favour of yet more endless monitoring.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JR3MNJ - The British Rail Class 31 diesel locomotives, also known as the Brush Type 2 and previously as Class 30, were built by Brush Traction from 1957-62. They were numbered in two series, D5500-D5699 and D5800-D5862. Construction of the first locomotive was completed in the final week of September 1957, and the handing-over took place on 31 October. The first Class 31 entered service in November 1957, after the launch of the Class 20 locomotive and was one of the Pilot Scheme locomotives ordered by British Railways to replace steam traction.
Engines
They were originally built with Mirrlees JVS12T 1,250 bhp (930 kW) (D5500D5519) and 1,365 bhp (1,018 kW) engines and Brush electrical equipment, but the engines were not successful and in 1964 D5677 was fitted with an English Electric 12SVT engine (similar to the 12CSVT used in the Class 37 but without an intercooler) rated at 1,470 bhp (1,100 kW). The trial proved successful, and between 1965 and 1969 the entire class was re-engined. The de-rated engine was used as it was the maximum the electrical system could accept.
Classification
The Mirrlees-engined locomotives were originally known as Class 30 under TOPS, with re-engined examples joining Class 31. The class was originally intended for service on the Eastern Region, but gradually became common in both the Western and London Midland regions too.

June 20, 2013 in 19th century, Brymbo, Industrial archaeology
Although we might think of Wrexham as a largely industrial town, with the Brymbo district as its economic powerhouse through much of the 19th century, the Industrial Revolution in north Wales was actually something of a damp squib. A. H. Dodd's classic text on the subject, first published in the 1920s, explained some of the reasons why: remote sites and poor communications restricted trade to the local area, whereas the coal and iron of south Wales had access to deep-sea ports (giving particularly direct access to the lucrative Irish market). The collieries west of Wrexham, old, smaller-scale workings on shallow seams, were a world away from the deep mines of the Rhondda, and Brymbo's steelworks was unusual in its hilly, land-locked site. By the 1900s many of the area's coal and iron operations had ceased.
The small-scale and localised development of industry in the district led to a distinctive landscape, where a patchwork of agricultural land was intermingled with small collieries, related industries such as brickworks, and villages spreading across former areas of common land. The last of these smaller scale industrial sites survived through to the 1950s, 60s and 70s
in Brymbo, a particularly interesting one lasted until the 1980s. There are now few buildings near Pentresaeson crossroads, and there were never very many, but you can still see one of the main landmarks of the immediate area, the old Taylor Brothers iron foundry and its distinctive chimney, just down the township road to Bwlchgwyn alongside the bed of the former Minera railway line. Back in the 19th century this would have been a good site for a small ironworks, with reliable supplies of coal in the immediate vicinity, a tributary stream of the Gwenfro running nearby and, from the 1840s, the railway giving vital access

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JRAHP8 - Sewage treatment (or domestic wastewater treatment, municipal wastewater treatment) is a type of wastewater treatment which aims to remove contaminants from sewage to produce an effluent that is suitable to discharge to the surrounding environment or an intended reuse application, thereby preventing water pollution from raw sewage discharges. Sewage contains wastewater from households and businesses and possibly pre-treated industrial wastewater. There are a high number of sewage treatment processes to choose from. These can range from decentralized systems (including on-site treatment systems) to large centralized systems involving a network of pipes and pump stations (called sewerage) which convey the sewage to a treatment plant. For cities that have a combined sewer, the sewers will also carry urban runoff (stormwater) to the sewage treatment plant. Sewage treatment often involves two main stages, called primary and secondary treatment, while advanced treatment also incorporates a tertiary treatment stage with polishing processes and nutrient removal. Secondary treatment can reduce organic matter (measured as biological oxygen demand) from sewage, using aerobic or anaerobic biological processes.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JP8T9A - Why is the shortage of HRT products particularly prominent?
Some HRT products, particularly gels, are in short supply. The causes are complex and multifactorial, according to the British Menopause Society, Faculty of Sexual Reproductive Healthcare, Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, and the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP).7 In a joint statement they say, HRT supply has not always been reliable in recent years, with multiple factors including manufacturing capacity, understanding current and future demand, and disruption of global supply chains all contributing.
The organisations also point to a sea change in the public conversation around menopause. Increased awareness of the menopause and HRT has been called the Davina effect after a Channel 4 documentary presented by Davina McCall in May 2021.
The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) says demand for HRT has risen 38% in the past seven years, as access has been extended.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2JG21X3 - The UK cost of living crisis is a period starting in 2021 in which prices for essential goods in the United Kingdom began increasing faster than household income, resulting in a fall in real income. This is caused in part by a rise in inflation in the UK. While all in the UK are affected by rising prices, the impact has been felt most by those with low income. The UK government has responded in various ways, such as by making provision for a £650 grant for each of the UK's lower income households.
Both global and local factors have contributed to the UK's cost of living crisis. According to Bank of England governor Andrew Bailey, about 80% of the causes driving the cost of living crisis are global. These include the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, an ongoing chip shortage, an energy crisis in 20212022, a supply chain crisis in 20212022 and Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The UK was reported to be among the worst affected among the world's advanced economies. In 2021, the UK's inflation was less than that of the US, but high US inflation was not generally experienced as a cost of living crisis due to the stimulus cheques that had been distributed to American households. Though in 2022 the cost of living crisis was also reported as being a global phenomenon, having impacts that include those living in the US, across Europe, and as risking an apocalyptic impact for those in the developing world.
Causes unique to the UK include labour shortages related to foreign workers leaving due to Brexit, and additional taxes on households. Factors that have worsened the crisis since 1 April 2022 include Ofgem increasing the household energy price cap by 54%, an increase in National Insurance, and a rise in Council Tax. Household income, whether from wages or benefits, has not generally kept pace with rising prices. In April 2022, UK real wages fell by 4.5%, the sharpest fall since records began back in 2001

It is designed particularly to meet the requirements of blasting in gassy underground coal mines. The Mk 7 has an integral digital ohmmeter which can be used to measure the total circuit series resistance. The d.c voltage required to initiate the detonators is supplied by a hand operated generator which charges a capacitor.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy 2BH9J8T - The Right to Buy scheme is a policy in the United Kingdom (with the exception of Scotland since 1 August 2016 and Wales from 26 Jan 2019) which gives secure tenants of councils and some housing associations the legal right to buy, at a large discount, the council house they are living in. There is also a Right to Acquire for assured tenants of housing association dwellings built with public subsidy after 1997, at a smaller discount. By 1997 over 1,700,000 dwellings in the UK had been sold under the scheme since its introduction in 1980, with the scheme being cited as one of the major factors in the drastic reduction in the amount of social housing in the UK, which has fallen from nearly 6.5 million units in 1979 to roughly 2 million units in 2017, while also being credited as the main driver of the 15% rise in home ownership, which rose from 55% of householders in 1979 to a peak of 71% in 2003 (this figure has declined since the late 2000s to 63% in 2017 [this figure excludes Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland]).
Supporters claim that the programme has given millions of households a tangible asset, secured their families' finances andby releasing cash to repay local authority debthelped improve the public finances. Critics claim that the policy compounded a housing shortage for people of low income, initiated a national house price bubble, and led ultimately to what is commonly recognised as the displacement and gentrification of traditional communities
The Right to Buy scheme has been criticised for the following reasons: Speculating investors were able to buy up council properties through deferred transaction agreements, hastening the rise in property costs
Commercially and socially valuable council assets was sold at below their market value or replacement cost, which was an imprudent waste of public money
The remaining stock of council housing was concentrated in undesirable areas with little employment opportunity, further isolating and stigmatising.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy R9GTX7 - A crumpet is a small griddle cake made from an unsweetened batter of water or milk, flour and yeast, eaten in the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, and some areas of the Commonwealth.
Crumpets are regionally known as pikelets, a name also applied to a thinner, more pancake-like griddle cake: a type of the latter is referred to as a crumpet in Scotland.
Crumpets have been variously described as originating in Wales or as part of the Anglo-Saxon diet,[3] based on proposed etymologies of the word. In either case breads were, historically, commonly cooked on a griddle whererever bread ovens were not available. The bara-planc, or griddle bread, baked on an iron plate over a fire, was part of the everyday diet in Wales until the 19th century.
Small, oval cakes baked in this manner were called picklets, a name used for the first recognisable crumpet-type recipe, published in 1769 by Elizabeth Raffald in The Experienced English Housekeeper. This name was derived from the Welsh bara pyglyd or pitchy [i.e. dark or sticky] bread, later shortened simply to pyglyd. The early 17th century lexicographer Randle Cotgrave referred to popelins, soft cakes of fine flour, &c., fashioned like our Welsh barrapycleds.
The word spread initially to the West Midlands of England, where it became anglicised as pikelet, and subsequently to Cheshire, Lancashire, Yorkshire, and other areas of the north
crumpets are still referred to as pikelets in some areas. The word crumpet itself, of unclear origin, first appears in relatively modern times
it has been suggested as referring to a crumpled or curled-up cake, based on an isolated 14th century reference to a crompid cake, and the Old English word crompeht (crumpled) being used to gloss Latin folialis, possibly a type of thin bread

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.

Description: Tony Smith image Alamy D8HD4W - A traditional British electric milkfloat vehicle
Milk deliveries frequently occur in the morning and it is not uncommon for milkmen to deliver products other than milk such as eggs, cream, cheese, butter, yogurt or soft drinks. Originally, milk needed to be delivered to houses daily since the lack of good refrigeration meant it would quickly spoil. The near-ubiquity of refrigerators in homes in the developed world, as well as improved packaging, has decreased the need for frequent milk delivery over the past half-century and made the trade shrink in many localities sometimes to just 3 days a week and disappear totally in others. Additionally, milk delivery incurs a small cost on the price of dairy products that is increasingly difficult to justify and leaves delivered milk in a position where it is vulnerable to theft.
Because of the relatively small power output from its electric motor, a milk float travels fairly slowly, usually around 10 to 16 miles per hour (16 to 26 km/h) although some have been modified to do up to 80 mph (130 km/h). Operators often exit their vehicle before they have completely stopped to speed up deliveries
milk floats generally have sliding doors that can be left open when moving, or may have no doors at all. They are very quiet, suiting operations in residential areas during the early hours of the morning or during the night.

'Red Frame/White Light' is the second single of the synthpop group Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. The song quite boringly is about the red telephone box in Meols that was used by the band to make calls to organise their gigs.
The telephone box that inspired 'Red Frame/White Light' is located at the crossing of Birkenhead Road and Greenwood Road countryCode=GB#map=53.4011,-3.15818|17|4&
bd=useful_information&
loc=GB:53.4011:-3.15818:17|4 Greenwood Road, meols|4 Greenwood Road, Meols, Wirral, Merseyside, England, CH47 6\' rel=\'nofollow\'>in Meols. In the nearby pub 'The Railway Inn' the band would meet and used the telephone box to organise their gigs and transportation.
In the songs lyrics the phone number is mentioned: 6323003. Fans would ring the number expecting to get one of the band members, but got a confused home owner in their own area code. Over the years it has become a kind of sacred place for OMD fans. In 2004 OMD fan Stephen Cork started a successful campaign to get the telephone box repainted in time for a fan tour on April 10, 2005.
------------------------
Penrhyn Castle is a country house in Llandegai, Bangor, Gwynedd, North Wales, in the form of a Norman castle. It was originally a medieval fortified manor house, founded by Ednyfed Fychan. In 1438, Ioan ap Gruffudd was granted a licence to crenellate and he founded the stone castle and added a tower house. Samuel Wyatt reconstructed the property in the 1780s.
The present building was created between 1820 and 1845 to designs by Thomas Hopper, who expanded and transformed the building beyond recognition. However a spiral staircase from the original property can still be seen, and a vaulted basement and other masonry were incorporated into the new structure. Hopper's clients were the Dawkins-Pennant family, who had made their fortune from Jamaican sugar and local slate quarries.
