  • Joke bumper stickers for sale at Southend-on-sea, Essex. The town could be described as run down as while there are some signs of affluence, these are few and far between. The predominant atmosphere is quite rough feeling and quite poor. Southend is a seaside resort that is very popular with people from the East side of London due to it's close proximity, just an hour away by train along the Thames Gateway. With the decline of seaside resorts, from the 1960s much of the centre was developed for commerce and many of the original features were destroyed through redevelopment or neglect.

They wear sun glasses against the late, strong sunshine but the background has gone dark because the sun has illuminated only their faces and chests. It is a picture of confidence, success and humour.

  • We see three friends close-up enjoying a festive party at Hamiltons pub in the City of London only a week before Christmas. It is a busy evening in the public house which is located near Liverpool Street mainline Station and they are in a humerous spirit just having fired off party streamers that have stuck to their clothes and faces. Two are wearing red and white santa claus hats but are stil in their work clothes. One is about to drink some of his pint of beer from a long, straight glass. The three look comical because of the streamers draped over their bodies and they are laughing and giggling at a joke that one has cracked. In the background a man is looking quizzically at the decorations.  The City of London has a resident population of under 10,000 but a daily working population of 311,000. The City of London is a geographically-small City within Greater London, England. The City as it is known, is the historic core of London from which, along with Westminster, the modern conurbation grew. The City's boundaries have remained constant since the Middle Ages but  it is now only a tiny part of Greater London. The City of London is a major financial centre, often referred to as just the City or as the Square Mile, as it is approximately one square mile (2.6 km) in area. London Bridge's history stretches back to the first crossing over Roman Londinium, close to this site and subsequent wooden and stone bridges have helped modern London become a financial success.

  • A theatrical joke about bureaucracy between French and British comedians at an event to mark the opening of the Channel Tunnel produces this quirky scene where each country's officials are seated at a long table, dressed in British flags, to symbolise the controls on human traffic that will soon pass through the tunnel beneath the sea between England and France, the first physical link between these two land masses since the Ice Age. Wearing smart uniforms, French immigration police and Gendarmes sit among British customs and immigration officials who, rather comically wear yellow hard hats because Health and Safety laws make the wearing of protective headgear compulsory on construction sites. A frontier control point notice stands for the benefit of viewers who might otherwise be guessing what is going on.

  • A rack of quintessentially English ‘saucy postcards’ are on display in Scarborough, the northern seaside town. Telling jokes to send back to friends and family, they using cartoon characters of buxom women, hen-pecked husbands or sexually-frustrated young men, the humour is bawdy and cheeky - the epitome of seaside holiday kitsch. The best-known saucy seaside postcards were created by Bamforths (founded 1870) and despite the decline in popularity of postcards that are overtly tacky, postcards continue to be a significant economic and cultural aspect of British seaside tourism. In the 1950s, Bamforth postcards were among the most popular of the 18 million items purchased at British resorts.

  • Redcoat doing a Hitler impersonation. The idea for the Red Coats came to Butlin early on in the Skegness Camps first season. He saw the first campers walking around looking bored and not making full use of the facilities. They had come to the camp looking for companionship and were not finding it. One of his assistants, Norman Bradford, started to jolly up proceedings by telling a few jokes to the campers assembled in the dining room. Butlin thought this was a good idea and the next day asked his colleague to go out and buy a distinctively coloured blazer - he did, in blue, primrose yellow and white, the camp colours. Butlin was not convinced and asked him instead to buy a red blazer. The Red Coats were then born. Butlins Skegness is a holiday camp located in Ingoldmells near Skegness in Lincolnshire. Sir William Butlin conceived of its creation based on his experiences at a Canadian summer camp in his youth and by observation of the actions of other holiday accommodation providers, both in seaside resort lodging houses and in earlier smaller holiday camps.

  • A woman hails a taxi in a London street that has been visited by the cartoon graffiti street artist Nathan Bowen of fireman created outside Shaftesbury Ave fire station. Striking a similar pose as the cartoon character, she also raises her arm to make a humourous street moment. But there is also another visual pun of the double-yellow parking lines endemic in the capitals that are echoed in the cartoon's high-visibility clothing.

  • Friends sheltering from April rains under a spotted umbrella walk past a hoarding featuring a leopard for a reopening Cartier shop in New Bond Street, one of two centres for the jewellery industry in the capital. The coincidental patterns on the leopard and the brolley seem comical. Cartier S.A., commonly known as Cartier is a French jeweller and watch manufacturer. The corporation carries the name of the Cartier family of jewellers whose control ended in 1964. Pierre Camille Cartier opened and managed the London Cartier store in 1902.

  • Two ladies stand outside of a bar to sip lunchtime drinks in Broadgate, City of London. Dressed in matching scarlet red jackets, the brunette and the blonde look relaxed in the warm mid-day sunshine during a warm spell in the capital. The nearest woman holds the remains of a gin and tonic whose lemon slice  is at the bottom of her glass while her friend or colleague, with wide shoulder pads and gold chain strap for her bag draped over across a shoulder, smiles to show white teeth. In the background are other women who wear the same red clothes and these primary colours are set amongst the deep green foliage of the bar’s plants.

  • Beneath the giant, solid pillars of the Bank of England in the heart of London’s financial district – the ancient Square Mile – a man dressed in a traditional pinstripe suit has stopped to make a phone call or check for messages. Halting his journey along this street he has opted to stand in line with a traffic no waiting cone and also near double-yellow lines that restrict parking or stopping. Without the cone or lines this scene would otherwise be without colour - the columns of this financial institution and the pavement (sidewalk) are drab – so the welcome yellow gives this picture more interest. We only see the man from the rear view and so he remains anonymous, a small person set against the scale of a large-scale financial landscape.

  • In the shadow of 1 Canada Square, the iconic Canary Wharf tower in London's Docklands stands as an icon for Thatcherite Britain when the good times, prosperity and economic upturns seemed unshakeable. Four work colleagues stand under a hot lunchtime sun during a summer heatwave. In their shirtsleeves the men each hold pints of refreshing lager, all having removed their dark jackets to enjoy the company of a flirtatious female who appears to be flirting with an older male companion. The sky is blue and the five are care-free to any future economic uncertainty.

  • A shop window display says ‘2020 the Nightmare before Christmas’ on 6th of December 2020, Hackney, London, United Kingdom. The words are a play on a Christmas film from the eighties, called ‘Nightmare before Christmas’ and is meant to make light hearted fun of the horrible year of 2020.  A child passing by with its father spots the skeleton man on the window.

  • Ex-British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher smiles at delegates during the 1991 Tory party conference, on 11th October 1991, in Blackpool, England. Two years after her colleagues deposed her, forcing her to resign from her 11 year premiership she is still in favour by Conservatives who are proud to display her in public, before eventually shunning her policies and profile for their campaigns. Thatcher has been lending her support to her replacement, the former Chancellor and Foreign Secretary, but the otherwise unknown John Major who governed until 1997.
