Quick, lock the doors. Someone has stolen the hypen from cooperative! Who, what, where and why? I'm pushing for its restoration.
This is a white-winged chough sitting on its mud nest. This isn't a small bird: think 450mm from beak to tail. Could this be the world's biggest mud nest building bird?
As if that isn't weird enough, this chough is a co-operative breeder. A whole flock works together to defend the nest, feed and raise the chicks.
Wait there's more! So they don't end up mating with their sisters or losing the critical mass to keep the group together these rascals actively work to kidnap their neighbour's kids and raise them as their own.
...in the form of this guy seated on a caboose verandah with a high pressure water supply fed from adjacent tank cars. He dampens down the lineside as the Rail Grinder makes its somewhat laborious passage along the track.
Recovering at home.

We certainly are at Shared Interest. This weekend I was delighted to join Patricia at the Co-operatives UK AGM held in Plymouth. As well as the usual business conducted at an AGM we were there for a very special reason too. Shared Interest received a Co-operative Award! Awarded as a celebration of the diversity, innovation and excellent work of co-operatives, Shared interest was recognised as one of six award winners.
Nominations for the awards are made to Co-operatives UK by those who know the work of the co-operatives, for example members or clients. A panel then judges each nomination to create a shortlist and then the winners. Collecting the award to the sound of ‘Moving on Up’ seemed fitting as Shared Interest continues to grow to support even more fair trade customers. As a co-operative it is fantastic to receive this recognition from the Co-operatives community and to share the accolade with our members.
Also at the AGM was the announcement of plans for the International Year of Co-operatives in 2012. This provides an exciting opportunity for co-operatives like Shared Interest to raise awareness of the work we do and the alternative co-operatives offer to other business models. The weekend was a medley of inspiring talks, presentations and exhibiting with one of the highlights, other than the awards of course, coming at the end. While the adults had been involved with the Co-operatives UK Congress, school children were also discussing their hopes and ambitions for Co-operative schools. Over the weekend they had been devising their own co-operatives, centred around bananas and came up with some spectacular ideas. My favourite was ‘Shine-o-rama’; you pay 20p for a banana and get to enjoy it while your shoes are polished with the skin. In other words you polish off the banana while they put polish on your shoes.

Brechin United Co-operative Society Limited. 1833-1933. I am a bit confused because the Rochdale Pioneers' first successful co-operative was formed in 1844. There were some unsuccessful attempts before that. Perhaps this one was.

The "horny handed sons of toil" relief is a typical Co-op symbol. A Co-operative Wholesale Society was established in Cardiff in 1857. This Art Deco building was built on the site of Cardiff's penultimate town hall which stood here from 1853 until 1904 when the current City Hall was opened. The hall was demolished in 1914 and this building subsequently replaced it.
