that bottom picture was doing the rounds among the lighting community a few months back because of the extremely rare fluorescent tube in the photograph

not only are the tubes in the foreground quite nice in their own right, there is clearly at one Bayonet capped fluorescent tube in there  which I talk about here

https://autoshite.com/topic/33156-the-lightbulbfun-thread/page/6/#comment-1757427

but most eye-catchingly in the background is a very rare type of circular fluorescent tube, an 80W T12 type made by a company known as Bright Light lamps or Longlamps Ltd , they where known for producing very odd ball fluorescent tubes, out of standard components, and their most well known product has to be this mysterious circular tube, take a 5ft T12 fluorescent tube roll it up into a circle, stick on a couple of T8 ends et viola! 

sadly that is not my own picture! I would love one for the collection, the clear T8 ends means you can rather uniquely for a fluorescent tube study the electrodes while the tube is in operation without the phosphor getting in the way  

Bright Light Lamps/Long lamps limited where also famously known for producing this tube

again not my picture! but it is a very curious early attempt of a compact fluorescent tube, take a 4ft T12 fluorescent tube slice it into 4 equal lengths and joint the lengths up with T8 intersections! 

sadly very little is known about  very little is known about the company/companies and they very much one of these mysterious companies with mysterious and intriguing products!

She should have run the second he said “ we don’t need to pay for wedding cars. The bus stops right outside the church”.

It looks like they are having a lot more fun than the people who blow thousands on letting the bride be princess for a day.

She’s actually just married the old guy just in front. He’s a right miser , hence the bus, but they’re happy because he’s about to pop his clogs and she’ll inherit a fortune. Then she’ll marry the other guy.

Jacob old chap, I do hope one isn't allowing young Sixtus to participate in Association Football. It's frightfully common.

Very hard to make out but it looks like two of those cars are wearing FC registration numbers. City of Oxford, issued 1903-1926.

Is that an oversized mud flap or an issue with the back wheel

It's a front mudflap, is it not?

That's a publicity shot for Rees-Mogg's forthcoming (starts July 5th) cable-television series 'Mogg Motors Macclesfield'.  The programme follows a newly unemployed Rees-Mogg in his attempt to provide for his wife and six children by setting up in business as an Uber driver.  Rees-Mogg spends much of the time trying to convince his passengers that he actually believes the 3 1/2 litre Bentley is a 'very modern car'.  Look out for episode two, in which our hero describes a misspent youth having mind-expanding experiences in fields and listening to Ned's Atomic Dustbin to a pissed-up hen party who don't understand.
