"In 1960 an articulated lorry left the road at Kelvedon, near Colchester, smashed through railings and fell onto a cast iron pipeline which was supported on brick pillars. Although the lorry - taking with it part of the railings - landed halfway along one pipe, carrying away the adjacent pillars, the cast iron pipe did not break and the main continued to pass high pressure gas without leakage for some hours until it was practicable to shut down and repair the damage." From "Cast Iron Pipe" published by the British Cast Iron Pressure Pipe Association. n.d. [c.1965]

This was the first photo I ever sold to a major publication. The Boston Globe bought it back in 2005 after coming across this page via Google. Photos of distribution centers are apparently so rare that it drove the photo editor to the internet, back before the practice was commonplace. It ran in the business section that December.
The editor's encouragement eventually led me to take up photography semi-professionally.

Timothy Tosa, an employee of the food distribution warehouse of the Five Sandoval Indian Pueblos in Bernalillo, NM fills requests for residents of the Santo Domingo Pueblo near Albuquerque, NM during a tailgate, a remote food distribution service of the food distribution warehouse. Residents of the Santo Domingo Pueblo are able to shop for food through the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) FoodNutrition Service (FNS) Food Distribution Program (FDPIR) on Indian Reservations. FDPIR is a federally funded program through USDA that provides commodity foods to low income American Indians and non-Indian households residing on a reservation and to households living in approved areas near a reservation that contains at least one person who is a member of a federally recognized tribe. Eligible households are certified based upon income and resource standards set by the federal government. Each month, participating households receive a food package to help them maintain a nutritionally balanced diet. USDA photo by Bob Nichols.
Back in 1976, I worked in this building for the whole year. This picture from about 1984 shows the operation much the same, but new computers. From here we served dealers across Australia and in several other neighbouring countries and islands. Because I was the new guy, most of my duties were outside, picking body panel orders, or packing the shipping containers.

JAKARTA WELCOMES ITS FIRST TUNE HOTEL
Value branded hotel chain continues its expansion in Indonesia
Jakarta, 3 September 2012 – Tune Hotels, the global branded value hotel chain, continues to expand in Indonesia with the opening of its latest hotel in Pasar Baru, Jakarta. Tune Hotel Pasar Baru would represent the global brand’s third property in Indonesia, (following Tune Hotel Kuta and Legian in Bali) and the first hotel in central Jakarta, offering world-class accommodation at extremely affordable rates, providing the essentials for a good night’s sleep. Tune Hotel Pasar Baru has 168 rooms in total, 125 Doubles, 42 Twin-sharing and a special needs room. The opening of Tune Hotel Pasar Baru was attended by popular Indonesian celebrities Nicholas Saputra and Izabel Jahja.
The expansion of the Tune Hotel brand in Indonesia is spurred by the country’s strong economy, rising number of tourists and favorable business environment. Jakarta is one of the largest cities in the world and ranked third after Bali and Sulawesi recording the highest hotel room occupancy in Indonesia according to the Statistics Indonesia of the Republic Indonesia. Pasar Baru is one of Jakarta’s most popular tourist destination and its central location is also ideal for business activities. Known for its shopping experience, visitors can “go back in time” to take in the beauty of its Dutch influenced colonial and Chinese architecture of its buildings as one strolls along the coble stone streets.
According to Mark Lankester, Group CEO of Tune Hotels, “Jakarta represents a gateway for leisure travellers more often as a stop-over before continuing their journey to other popular destinations such as Bali, Medan, Yogyakarta and Surabaya. Nevertheless Jakarta also serves as a central business destination drawing frequent business travellers from the South East Asian region and domestically within Indonesia as well. Hence, the opening of Tune Hotel Pasar Baru would cater to the needs of leisure and business travellers looking for convenient, comfortable and value-for-money accommodation. “
Lankester added that more expansion plans are on the way for the Tune Hotel brand in Indonesia which includes Pekan Baru, Makassar, Solo, Palembang and Surabaya. The vast country of sprawling archipelago has much to offer; from natural beauty, historical heritage to cultural diversity. Moreover, statistics from the Travel and Tourism Competitive Index (TTCI) in 2011 ranks Indonesia as the thirteenth most attractive destination in the Asia-Pacific to commence travel and tourism business operations.
Other Tune Hotel properties in Indonesia are located in Kuta and Legian, Bali which have been a favourite among visitors to Bali. The hotels’ popularity was recognized when it was named among the Top 20 Indonesia Innovative Brands of 2011 by Indonesia’s leading marketing industry magazine, MIX. It was Tune Hotels' innovativeness to its ability to serve the practical needs of tourists by giving them the best value that garnered the attention and illustrated by Legian and Kuta hotels being ranked #3 and #7 Best Value Hotels in Bali on TripAdvisor. Tune Hotels was selected along with other global leading brands to be named on the list and the only Malaysian-originated brand.
Red Planet Hotels owns and operates the Tune Hotel Pasar Baru in close association with Tune Hotel and its Chief Executive Officer, Tim Hansing, said that this hotel was the first of many more to come in Indonesia from Red Planet as the Tune brand expands across the country.
“This is the first hotel of eight more we have under construction in Indonesia and we will have some exciting announcements about more sites we are in the midst of acquiring. We are making some significant investments in Indonesia in the budget hotel sector as we have full confidence in the potential of Indonesia and the Indonesian travel sector to grow this market” said Hansing.
Tune Hotels currently has eleven hotels in Malaysia, four in LondonUnited Kingdom, four in The Philippines and two in Thailand. Hotels in Malaysia are located in Kuala Lumpur, Penang, KLIA-LCCT Airport, Kota Kinabalu, Kuching, Johor Bahru, Kota Damansara, Bintulu, Kota Bharu, Kulim and Ipoh.
Hotels in Asia includes Hat Yai and Pattaya in Thailand; Angeles City, Cebu City, Ermita and Makati, Manila in The Philippines; Kuta and Legian in Bali and Pasar Baru, Jakarta in Indonesia; Westminster, Liverpool Street, Paddington and Kings Cross in London, UK.

Under the concept, guests only pay for room rates with the option of adding on other amenities like towels & toiletries, air-conditioning, in-room Wifi and satellite TV service at selected hotels.

The World Food Program (WFP) has replaced the direct distribution of food to the IDPs for a voucher system where each family can exchange its value for products such as sugar, salt, lentils, oil, cereals, meat, chicken and dried tomatoes. The center hosts 12 local vendors who distributes these products to the IDPs.

The Co-op's department store at Great Yarmouth. A dignified building, of about the 1920s I should think, and nicely fenestrated above shopfront level. For some years I worked for the Co-op, not directly but at several removes, for a "logistics" company which handled the warehousing and distribution side of the Co-op's regional operation. It was quite interesting in its way. We handled all the refridgerated products for every Co-op store between the west London suburbs and the Isles of Scilly, including South Wales ...which is, of course, "strong Co-op". The goods came in from suppliers, were sorted into orders for individual stores, and went back out again, filling and emptying a 70,000 sq. ft. warehouse every day in the space of about 12 hours.
The Co-op possesses few large, well-equipped supermarkets with loading bays. Most of its shops are small general stores in villages and suburban high streets. Accordingly goods were delivered in wheeled cages which, with their rotation-resistant wheels and propensity to tip over, were a constant source of trouble. We sometimes found it impossible to get them around a smooth-floored warehouse; God knows how our drivers managed to get them up over kerbs, across uneven pavements and in through store-room entrances at the backs of the shops. There was a high incidence of shoulder injuries. The firm, puzzled, called in an industrial injuries specialist who recommended that staff be instructed to push, not pull the cages. The ukase went out, and anyone seen pulling a cage was stopped, given a bollocking and told to push. But you can't beat the good old Law of Unlooked-for Consequences. The solution of one health & safety "issue" was the genesis of another. The problem was that, once a cage had been filled to eye-level, you couldn't see where you were pushing it. As I was propelling a cage vigorously around the warehouse one afternoon, its front offside wheel struck the corner of a pallet which had been left lying around and which I hadn't seen. The cage came to an abrupt halt but I kept going and smacked my face against it. I expressed a number of robust opinions concerning cages and pallets and carried on.
The next morning there was discernable swelling and discolouration around my right eye. There was no doubt about it ...I was going to get a shiner. On the third day after the occurrance, by which time my upper eyelid was black and the surrounding orbit was a kind of sunset of empurpled hues, I was at work and saw the firm's health & safety manager coming towards me. "This chap", I told myself, "should be aware of the consequences that may ensue from the firm's "push-only" policy. I explained the accident.
"Did you report it?"
"No"
"Why not?"
"Because I'm a stoical sort of chap and have little patience with modern Health & Safety fetishism"
This didn't cut any ice. I was directed to the office and told to report the accident. I entered.
"Dave Stevens has told me that I have to report an accident that occurred three days ago". Pens were chucked down on desks in exasperation. Chins were tossed and there were a number of groans.
"Juliaaaaaan"
"What now?" came an irritable voice from the next office.
"We got another bloke here says he's had a accident"
"Well tell the c*** to f*** off".
I could understand his annoyance. This was the second "reportable accident" of the day. The first had involved three hours of paperwork. Mine would now take another three. I was given a seat and spent the next couple of hours ...it was quite a good skive when run into my meal-break... making entries in the Accident Book, drawing diagrams and filling out Accident Report Forms.
Two weeks later came the "de-briefing" ...another two hours of wasted time. I was invited to sign a document acknowledging that the accident had occurred because I had been "insufficiently aware of my surroundings". In other words the accident was my fault because I had not seen the obstruction.
"How can I be expected to react to something which I have not seen and which is, in fact, not visible to me?"
"Ah, but if you'd been more aware of your surroundings, you would have seen it".
"What should I do to become more aware?"
The stonewalling went on and, of course, one was tempted to sign the document, accepting the company's version of events and implicitly waiving any right to compensation. "Health & Safety", supposedly for the protection of the individual, is simply manipulated by employers as a means of avoiding liability for injuries in the workplace. In the meantime we all have to be inconvenienced for our own good. This was bound to happen. However, I declined to sign and left it at that. I subsequently got a hard time from the USDAW shop steward.
"I'd have got you 2,000 quid for that, cash in hand, tax-free". Why didn't you go through the Union?"
"I'm old-school, mate. I don't hold with the modern view that everyone ought to be compensated for every little vicissitude in life". Actually I may not have used the word "vicissitude".
"That's not being old-school, that's just being bloody thick".
Perhaps he was right.
