The men at work series are the men that I work with in a central heating and cooling plant in the midwest. They are a proud and smart bunch making their way in the blue collar world. This image was the beginning of the Men at Work series. I was walking thru the basement, and framed by the circle of the turbine steam condenser was Brian. Afterwords a rustic look gave the image almost a timelessness. (that is if you ignore the modern work light.. :) and the headphones..ok looking pretty modern after all!

My thanks to Cllr Peray Ahmet for telling me about a Haringey Council Press Release. It publicised the prosecution of a resident for fly-tipping from a van. The man was "spotted by a council manager" while wearing a Council "hi-visibility vest".
The Press Release doesn't tell us very much more. Was this part of a planned operation to catch commercial fly-tippers? Or was it a lucky chance? Was the rubbish his own? Was the man a trader saving money by dumping commercial waste? Or had he been paid by residents? By builders? By landlords?
In my view, the Press Release is not much more than a good-news-story designed to show Haringey Council in a positive light. Man-in-van-caught-and summoned-to-court. Except that he didn't show-up in court and was found guilty in his absence.
As upbeat news, it provided an opportunity for Haringey's "Comms" Team to pretend - despite the evidence of residents' own eyes - that our council is winning the battle by "getting tough" with people who dump rubbish on our streets.
Along these lines, the Press Release included a quotation from Cllr Peray Ahmet, the elected "cabinet" councillor. Her responsibilities include waste management.
In a separate tweet to me, Cllr Ahmet explained that they "are trying to ramp up enforcement".
Cllr Peray Ahmet's quotation in the Press Release
"We vowed to get tough on fly-tipping and this crown court conviction shows we mean business. From the minute our council employee spotted the fly-tipper, it was a hands-on investigation for our staff, who worked tirelessly with the police on this case."
“Fly-tipping costs Haringey taxpayers more than £3 million a year and ruins the streets for our residents. We are determined to tackle this expensive, antisocial, problem and will not hesitate to prosecute those who do it.”
My Comment
I'm not denying the significant harm - environmental, social and financial - caused by people who take money to dispose of waste, only to dump it irresponsibly. But I'm not convinced that a handful of successful prosecutions - or even a far higher number of on-the-spot fines - will turn the tide on our wider problem.

Beale Wildlife Park and Gardens
Located by the River Thames, between the villages of Lower Basildon and Pangbourne.
The park was founded in 1956 by Gilbert Beale as his own private park. He was a keen collector and breeder of peacocks and these birds still roam free in the 350-acre park.
The wildlife park has meerkats, prairie dogs, monkeys, mongoose, capybaras, wallabies, alpacas, maras, lemurs, raccoons, owls, macaws, rheas, coati, goats, a deer park, and a pets corner.
The impressive gardens include a pavilion, trails, the Jubilee water gardens and several sculptures
There is a children's play area for families.

The Pavilion
Closed for refurbishment when I visited.
Gilbert Beale loved all things that were different and brought many unusual and curious pieces together.
Many of these items are displayed in the pavilion which usually houses a collection of model boats, aeroplanes and children's toys from the 50s, 60s and 70s.
The most notable item from Beale's eclectic collection is probably the statue of a charging horse which dominates the pathway leading to the Pavilion.
The Wild Horse of The Valkyrie
The rider is one of the twelve war maidens who chose the warriors to be slain and then conducted them to Valhalla where they feasted with Odin the chief deity of Norse Mythology.
Hmmmm, I wonder what this means. Maybe, whatever wacko cult you adhere to, these folks will adjust their beliefs to match yours so as to get your business. Maybe that's what a savvy entrepreneur has to do to succeed in places like this (Seattle) and Provincetown, Key West, Roswell NM, etc.

Trident I (C-4)
First Deployed in 1979, the Trident I (C-4) is a submarine-launched ballistic missile (SLBM) designed by Lockheed Martin Space Systems and General Dynamics in the United States. The missile has multiple independently-targetable reentry vehicles (MIRV) capability. The Fleet Ballistic Missile (FBM) is armed with nuclear warheads and can be launched from U.S. Navy Ohio class nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines (SSBN).
Trident missiles, with British warheads, are also carried by Royal Navy Vanguard class submarines. In 1990, the Trident II was first deployed on the USS Tennessee (SSBN 734). Trident II is larger and lighter than the Trident I. The Trident II also has a longer range than the Trident I

Taken on the Mail Rail's Tunnel Walk
The Post Office (London) Underground Railway, or Mail Rail, transported mail under the streets of London from 1927 to 2003.
In 1855, Rowland Hill, then Secretary to the Post Office, submitted a report to the Postmaster General on a system for conveying mail in underground tubes. It was intended that air pressure would be used as the propelling force. Hill envisaged it being used originally in London, connecting the Post Office Headquarters and another Post Office building at Holborn. Ultimately eight other offices might have been linked in. The experts reported that the scheme would work, but the costs involved meant that it never progressed further.
In 1863, the Post Office inspected a new pneumatic railway, built by the Pneumatic Despatch Company, which ran nine feet below ground between Euston Station and Eversholt Street. The wrought iron cars, which ran on rails, were sucked through the length of the tube in about a minute.
Trials continued until 1866 when the Company terminated its arrangement with the Post Office due to financial difficulties. The Company later recovered, and by December 1873 had extended the line to carry mail through to the GPO building in St Martins-le-Grand, via a central point in Holborn. The Post Office declined to enter into a permanent arrangement with the Company and mail was carried for the final time in October 1874. The Company never recovered and was eventually wound up.
By the turn of the 20th century, congested streets and fog meant that mail transported between the main Post Offices and railway stations in London was severely delayed.
A Departmental Committee was set up in 1909 to study the use of underground pneumatic and electric railways. In February 1911 it recommended construction of an electric railway with driverless trains. Their recommendations were accepted and in 1913 the Post Office (London) Railway Bill was passed as an Act.
The new railway was to consist of six and a half miles of tunnels at an average of 70 feet below ground. It would connect the West and East ends of London, with eight stations situated at Paddington District Office; Western Parcels Office; Western District Office; Western Central District Office; Mount Pleasant; King Edward Building; Liverpool Street railway station and Eastern District Office.
Construction of the tunnels began in 1914 and at the same time a short experimental track, complete with one car, was erected on Plumstead Marshes.
The tunnelling work was completed in 1917, but the Treasury would not allow the Post Office to order or install the operating equipment during wartime. The high price of materials after the War meant that work on the railway did not resume until 1923.
The railway was finally opened on 5 December 1927 with parcels traffic running between Mount Pleasant and Paddington. Mount Pleasant to Liverpool Street opened for Christmas parcels from 19 to 24 December and then for a full parcels service from 28 December. Liverpool Street to Eastern District Office opened for parcels on 2 January 1928. Letter traffic began on 13 February with the opening of West Central District Office station, followed by Western District Office on 12 March.
The trains run in a single tunnel, 9ft in diameter, with a double 2ft gauge track. At the station approaches, the main tunnel divides into two 7ft tunnels, each with a single track. Although the trains are much smaller than on London’s passenger underground, the stations look much the same, with grand circular walls and the familiar sound of approaching trains.
The tunnels were used during the First World War to store and protect art treasures belonging to the National Portrait Gallery and the Tate Gallery.
The original rolling stock of 90 trains had to be replaced within three years because of excessive wear being caused on the track. New trains were introduced in 1930, with each 27-foot long single-car train able to carry four mail bag containers. Every container held an average 15 bags of letters or six bags of parcels. Replacement trains were trialled in the 1960s and a new fleet introduced in 1980.
The stations at Western Parcels Office and Western District Office closed in 1965. They were replaced by a station at the new Western District Office in Rathbone Place, opened on a new deviated section of track on 3 August 1965. To mark its 60th anniversary in 1987, the Post Office Underground Railway changed its name to ‘Mail Rail’ and some of the trains were rebuilt with streamlined casings. Another recent modification to the train control equipment meant that trains could be diverted, so that the rare hold-ups caused by the occasional break-down became a thing of the past.
A new centralised computer-controlled system was introduced in 1993, enabling the entire railway to be controlled from a single point instead of through separate control rooms at each station. By the late 1990s trains were only stopping at Paddington, Western Delivery Office, Mount Pleasant, and the East District Office. More than six million bags of mail were carried below ground each year – that is four million letters every day.
The Post Office (London) Railway played a pivotal role in the transportation of mail in London. Its continued, rarely interrupted, service is testament to the skilled engineering and maintenance teams that kept the system running. The network even had its own underground workshop beneath Mount Pleasant. Through declining use and closure of the above ground offices the system eventually became un-economical to run. In 2003 the system was suspended and today remains closed.
