I don't know much about the history of this image, other than it was in Granddad's collection and depicts firefighters from Shepshed Fire Station at an inter-station competition. The uniforms suggest it would not have been taken much after the mid-1970s.
On the subject of uniforms, it is interesting to see the all-black Cork and leather helmets, which persisted until the early 90s in some areas (albeit with a change in colour) and the presence of individual axes on each firefighter's belt.
The crew are demonstrating, presumably against the clock, their ability to set up a lightweight portable pump and suction system, to deliver water from ponds, streams, lakes or similar. Rural firefighting, such as in Leicestershire, would often entail securing water from such open sources.
Here in Victoria, we use a modern version of this with a metal strainer on the end to prevent debris entering the system. I suspect the modern suction hoses are a slightly larger too. The two firefighters with their backs to us appear to be securing a line to the hose, which is a practice that endures here.
I would note that their pump seems a great deal more sophisticated than the one I have used, in that it has instruments! Mind you, we tend to take our trucks, with their four wheel drive capacity, closer to the desired water source and use the truck pump to obtain water.
This is my entry for the Threadless Cake Competition 2011. (My first entry, I should say, as I'm hoping to have time to make one more :o))
I love this competition as you have to think outside the box, and there are some amazing entries. My cake doesn't even come close to some of the others, so I'm just in it for fun.
If you don't know what Threadless is, look here www.threadcakes.com/
My entry is based on this design www.threadless.com/product/672/mmmh_Delicious
Since August is my summer holiday, I can't bring cake to work, and have to eat it myself, so I made quite a small cake. The square is about 4x4 inches and only 2 inches tall.
It's a white chocolate cake with nougat ganache (Mmmmh.... Delicious!)
After competing in the morning session I grabbed my camera and walked around the course to grab a few images of the competitors participating in the afternoon session and this is one of my local colleagues with an old school underlever spring powered air rifle.

From pagan fertility rituals to hallucinogenic herbs, the story of witches and brooms is a wild ride. The evil green-skinned witch flying on her magic broomstick may be a Halloween icon—and a well-worn stereotype. But the actual history behind how witches came to be associated with such an everyday household object is anything but dull. It's not clear exactly when the broom itself was first invented, but the act of sweeping goes back to ancient times, when people likely used bunches of thin sticks, reeds and other natural fibers to sweep aside dust or ash from a fire or hearth.
As J. Bryan Lowder writes , this household task even shows up in the New Testament, which dates to the first and second centuries AD.
From the beginning, brooms and besoms were associated primarily with women, and this ubiquitous household object became a powerful symbol of female domesticity..
Despite this, the first witch to confess to riding a broom or besom was a man : Guillaume Edelin.
Edelin was a priest from Saint-Germain-en-Laye, near Paris.
He was arrested in 1453 and tried for witchcraft after publicly criticizing the church's warnings about witches.
His confession came under torture, and he eventually repented, but was still imprisoned for life.
Edelin was the Prior of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, an Augustinian and a Doctor of Divinity. He promulgated the idea that it was impossible for the Devil to make pacts or witches to fly on brooms. After being arrested, he confessed that he had signed a compact with the Devil to satisfy his carnal desires, part of this being that he pretend that witchcraft was impossible. The compact was afterwards found upon his person. He also confessed that he had "done homage to the Enemy, under the form of a sheep, by kissing his posteriors," and to having gone to the Sabbath "mounted on a balai", the first reference to the use of a broomstick in connection with witchcraft
After his capture, he repented and was imprisoned for the rest of his life in the city of Évreux.
