  • A cafe offering breakfasts for £1.95 Pounds in central London has closed, a victim of the UK recession. Swirls of emulsion paint on the business's window creating abstract patterns on the glass. Around a recession-bled Britain, high-street businesses have been going bust in their thousands. Britain has now endured eight recessions since the Second World War. No two recessions are alike, and that applies to the current slowdown also. It has been caused by a shock to the availability of credit, a massive build up of debt. The number of people out of work currently stands at almost two million. Given the rate at which the economy is deteriorating this could easily be above three million. From a continuing piece of work about windows and urban messages, the picture is from the project of closed business windows: 'Bust - the Art of Recession'.

  • A new model of Routemaster bus has broken down and disrupts traffic in a City of London street. The New Bus for London, sometimes referred to as NB4L, and colloquially as the New Routemaster or Borismaster (after the Mayor of London who drove their introduction) is a 21st-century replacement of the iconic AEC Routemaster as a bus built specifically for use in London. Designed by Heatherwick Studio, it is built by Wrightbus, and features the 'hop-on hop-off' rear open platform of the original Routemaster, but meets the requirements for modern buses to be fully accessible. The first bus entered service on 27 February 2012. The cost of each bus is £354,500.

  • A young Nepali boy is straining in his last sit-ups during a recruitment test for the Gurkha Regiment, part of a tough endurance series to find physically perfect specimens for British army infantry training. He has to perform 25 straight-kneed sit-ups at a 45° slant both within 60 seconds to pass. 60,000 boys aged between 17-22 (or 25 for those educated enough to become clerks or communications specialists) report to designated recruiting stations in the hills each November, most living from altitudes ranging from 4,000-12,000 feet. After initial selection, 7,000 are accepted for further tests from which 700 are sent down here to Pokhara in the shadow of the Himalayas. Only 160 of the best boys succeed in the journey to the UK. The Gurkhas have been supplying youth for the British army since the Indian Mutiny of 1857.

  • A woman driver is breathalysed at the roadside by an officer from the City of London Police. During a night shift in the streets near Liverpool Street Station, the lady blows into the device until the officer tells her to stop, having supplied sufficient breath that can be measured for alcohol in milligrams of Oxygen. When the user exhales into the breathalyzer, any ethanol present in their breath is oxidized to acetic acid at the anode. The overall reaction is the oxidation of ethanol to acetic acid and water. The electrical current produced by this reaction is measured, processed, and displayed as an approximation of overall blood alcohol content by the breathalyser. The first practical roadside breath-testing device intended for use by the police was the drunkometer. The drunkometer was developed by Professor Harger in 1938.

  • The England footballer Wayne Rooney's faces are seen wrapped up in polythene, sold outside a shop near St. Paul's Cathedral where merchandise accessories are being sold off cheap outside sports shop in City of London. It is a few days after the England team's defeat by Germany in the quarter-finals of the South African World Cup and while English flags are stored away in time for the next St. George's Day when nationalism and patriotic emotions are showed on homes, in streets and on working mans’ vans, these Rooney face masks are now seen as passé, unsellable at current prices so their value has been reduced from just 10 pence. Golden boy Rooney is still a commodity that Manchester United earn millions from – their merchandising opportunities reach a fever levels at times of premiership and international matches.

  • Black taxi cab drivers protest in Whitehall, central London, objecting to a new online booking and journey fare app called Uber. The app works out the cost of journeys and cab drivers say it is the same as using a taxi meter, which only black cabs are legally entitled to use. The London Taxi Driver Association (LTDA) also said part of the demonstration was about highlighting the length of training - between four and seven years - taxi drivers undergo before being licensed. During the protest roads were gridlocked around Parliament Square, Whitehall and Trafalgar Square in the capital's West End. .

  • A middle-aged man walks beneath the sign of the London Stock Exchange at their old premises known as the Tower.  The gent looks hunched as if with all the troubles of the world on his shoulders, a pessimistic view on the world. He makes a sorrowful figure with such a strong presence against the wall shadow. Three years after the so-called Big Bang in 1986, this location at the old Stock Exchange Tower became redundant with the advent of the Big Bang, which deregulated many of the Stock Exchange's activities as it enabled an increased use of computerised systems that allowed dealing rooms to take precedence over face to face trading. Thus, in 2004, the House moved to a brand new headquarters in Paternoster Square, close to St Paul's Cathedral.

  • Amid post-War inner-city concrete, an elderly man struggles up a slope in Birmingham’s infamous Bull Ring, a development of open-air market stalls, offices and a new indoor shopping centre, the first indoor city-centre shopping centre in the UK. It symbolised everything horrid about architecture in a modern Britain. The words ‘Unspoilt by progress’ seems to be a statement of extreme  falsehood, a lie for those using this grim feature of modernism. The market began in medieval 1154 but it was its 1964 regeneration that gave it a reputation of an oppressive urban monstrosity though it  was considered the height of modernity. But higher rents meant traders turned away and the public shunned subways and escalators which stopped working regularly. Much disliked by the public it contributed to the popular conception that Birmingham was a ‘concrete jungle’.

Here, the Parachute Regiment (The Paras) - hold part of their famous basic training programme called Pegasus (P) Company. The most notorious selection procedure in the British Army. After initial recruitment, each student is sent to either pass or fail a set of 9 events from which a total score of 90 points is possible. 58% or more passes, less fails. Events like the 18 mile Forced March followed by a further 5 miles can earn 10 points though this will inevitably prove too much for many young man, desperate to pass P Company and earn his prestigious beret (Like the Foreign Legion).

  • Organic radishes for sale by members of the Women's Rural Improvement Group at Alamada market, Cotabato Province, Mindanao Island, The Philippines. In the Philippines climate change is contributing to an increase in the frequency and intensity of typhoons as well as a general rise in temperatures and rain leading to an increase in droughts, flash floods and landslides. This is having a huge impact on smallholder farmers who depend on one cash crop leaving them vulnerable to any changes in weather patterns. If their crops fail they are left with no other source of income for that year. In central Mindanao Oxfam is working with local partners and governments to increase awareness of climate change in poor communities and reduce the risks it creates to vulnerable farmers by supporting them in crop diversification.

  • Before finalists take part in their last exercises at a gymkhana pony competition, these rosettes prizes seen here in close-up detail wait to be claimed by young winners and losers. From the top we see prizes for Reserve Champions then those for 1st prize, then second, third and runners-up at the very bottom. Such accolades are won and lost by fractions of a second but their importance is remembered for years afterwards as young girls desperately practice to improve their equestrian skills. A huge commitment is needed by the girls and their parents who spend great deals of money and time for these treasured prizes which can be won or lost by fractions of seconds or single points. Those that fail to win go home feeling empty-handed or perhaps cheated out of victory and glory. Those who win hang them on bedroom walls for years to come.

Its doorway is warped and leaning, the brickwork is crumbling and in a general poor condition. As the old pass away, so properties in the rural backwaters of Hungary fail to regenerate a younger population and old, communist-era buildings are falling into disrepair.
