  • A woman driver is breathalysed by an officer from the City of London Police. .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 drunkometer collected a motorist's breath sample directly into a balloon inside the machine. The breath sample was then pumped through an acidified potassium permanganate solution. If there was alcohol in the breath sample, the solution changed colour. The greater the colour change, the more alcohol there was present in the breath.

They both look successful and confident about their friendship or business dealings as they share a joke or swap stories about their lives. 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.

  • Prices at the pumps in the Jet petrol station, Europe's first completely unleaded forecourt in London in 2001. The detailed picture shows us the amounts we paid for fuel in the early part of the 21st century when the UK's economy was still very prosperous, before the crashes and recessions of the following decade. This forecourt was the first to offer exclusively Unleaded petrol which wasn't then available across the country. Drivers were forced to journey to specially-converted stations far apart. On this day, it cost 36.8p a litre whereas 13 years later it would cost roughly £1 more for the same amount.

  • Spinning turbine blades of the Wind farm near the Cornish town of Delabole in England are blurred against fast-fading light. We barely see the three blades as they revolve to produce electricity for the national grid. First operational in mid December 1991 they were a very controversial project with locals who saw them as a blot on their familiar c though it’s permission went ahead nonetheless. The 10 turbines operated by Windelectric are carefully positioned in existing hedge lines about 270 m apart and have an annual output of about 12 million Kw hours, which equals 1 years consumption by 2700 average homes (a small town). To produce the same amount of electricity by conventional means, about 2000 tonnes of oil or 5000 tonnes of coal would have to be burnt each year, this has a Co2 offset of 4,475 tonnes.

  • Viewed from a low angle, an unidentified youth is seen spraying graffiti art on to a wall in the Notting Hill area of West London, England. We see his partially-obscured face lit from behind with a strong amount of flash which throws a well-defined shadow of his hand holding a spray can. It is a chilly night and the boy's breath is seen against the frosty night air. His graffiti art has taken him some hours to spray on this white wall and shows a glossy finish. The picture is anonymous because of the young man's face is unseen and generic, because we don't see where the wall might be located.

  • Blue and red dye stains on the 'line' at RAF Scampton, Lincolnshire, home base of the elite 'Red Arrows', Britain's prestigious Royal Air Force aerobatic team. The spilled dye provides the team with their distinctive red, white and blue smoke (a vegetable dye and diesel fuel mixture) during their air show display routines. While on the ground, this non-toxic derv/vegetable dye is injected into a vacuum under pressure into the jets' modified belly-pod which in varying amounts of concentrate, gives off a smoke via three nozzles that point down into the jet's efflux, the exhaust that exits the jet pipe at 500°C. For a display, the pods hold enough dye for 5 minutes of white smoke, 1 of blue and 1 of red while the Synchro pair uses slightly more. 7,200 gallons of dye during the entire 2004 season and since 1965 they have flown over 4,000 such shows in 52 countries.

  • Having just unearthed more bodies from layers of volcanic ash and pumice, an archaeologist's assistant pauses for a cigarette, kneeling beside a victim of the AD79 eruption of Mount Versuvius over the ancient Roman town of Pompeii. Buried beneath huge amounts of toxic material this person was suffocated and crushed from falling debris. Preserved in a shell of volcanic material it is to be removed from this site on top of a villa roof where, it is calculated, this citizen was one of the last to die, having climbed 4 metres above ground level to await its fate. The Italian man ears a red t-shirt and holds a pick that has scraped and brushed away the soil to reveal the human form which also shows another body beneath. Others litter the rooftop too proving that many survivors of the first eruption perished after the second many hours later.

  • A brave taxi cab driver drives gingerly along Denmark Hill in South London, The capital's infrastructure has largely come to a halt due to the large amounts of snowfall that has hit the capital - the most for 18 years.

The taxi's orange light is still illuminated indicating he is free for hire and a foot of snow is piled on his roof as the headlights pick out the driving blizzard conditions. Footprints are already in the drift near the pavement that is now hidden from the road.

  • Vinnie Browse switches off his overhead reading light in his Junior Rating bunk aboard HMS Vigilant, a 16,000 ton, 150m long Vanguard class nuclear submarine while moored at HM Naval Base Clyde, Faslane, Scotland. Vigilant has a crew of 140 men and when at sea, only incoming communication, family-grams, are allowed so many months away on operational duty can be tough on home life. On-board entertainment is therefore important for morale. The Vanguard Class SSBN (Ship Submersible Ballistic Nuclear) provides the United Kingdom's strategic nuclear deterrent and carries Trident II ballistic missiles, powered by a pressurised water reactor (PWR) fuelled by a ton of fissionable uranium elements producing huge amounts of energy.
