  1. The Invisible Shift

    A street cleaner with a bin bag in one hand, framed between a STOP sign and a no-right-turn sign. You couldn’t stage it better. I shot this from Drawbridge Street, watching the lunchtime crowd flow past him like water around a rock. What struck me was the contrast: dozens of...

  3. The Invisible Shift

    A street cleaner with a bin bag in one hand, framed between a STOP sign and a no-right-turn sign. You couldn’t stage it better. I shot this from Drawbridge Street, watching the lunchtime crowd flow past him like water around a rock. What struck me was the contrast: dozens of people mid-stride, shopping or wandering around, and this one figure doing the quiet work that keeps the city ticking over.

    His orange hi-vis jacket is the loudest thing in the frame, but he’s mostly unnoticed by everyone. The young lad in the camo jacket is walking towards me, a woman in a black top is mid-step, and behind the railings there’s a whole parade of shoppers who have no idea they’re in a photograph. I like that the two road signs bookend him: STOP on one side, no-right-turn on the other as if the street itself is giving him contradictory instructions. It’s one of those shots where the composition just fell into place, and all I had to do was not fumble the shutter.

  5. BREAKING: M&S to close its 69-year-old Swansea Oxford Street store in a "huge shock" to the council. The move puts 92 jobs at risk, with the retailer citing a decade of declining sales. The council says it is "hugely disappointing."

  7. Following the recent heated discussion re: Marmite, I saw this today. I'd seen pictures, but look, it really exists and half price no less. I wonder why that might be. Reader: I did not buy it. I wouldn't even know what to do with it. They suggest over ice cream, or churros. Or popcorn or savoury veg?? But, even as a superfan, I couldn't bring myself to buy. I might regret that: I doubt they're making more... #Marmite #UKFood #MarksAndSpencer

  9. My sister & I enjoy these Iced Almondette cookies from #Voortman. It reminds us of the #almond cookies my mom would buy from #MarksandSpencer when they were in Canada.
    They aren't too sweet (not overly sugary), and go well with a cup of tea or coffee.
    They are only available this time of year for the holidays.
    #Freshco has them for $3 CAD.

  10. Do normal people, of their own free will and without irony or lack of other options, ACTUALLY dress up in father-mother-child outfits? #MarksAndSpencer

  12. My take, there's a Gordon Ramsey restaurant near where we are, so that option is quite tempting.....if we had money. Which we don't, like most other people.
    And when they say "Tom Kerridge made it", does that mean each meal has been touched by his hand or he just approved the cooking process?

  14. Unfortunately, I’ve had to deal with Customer Services at a few large companies lately for my old dad. He struggles with his hearing and he’s found it all quite upsetting. What an experience it has been. They all have a new trick and it works. They just don’t stop talking. At all. It’s relentless. And they say the same thing over and over with some cringeworthy platitudes thrown in for good measure. Well done #MarksandSpencer #Sky and #Vodafone. You brought a frail old man to his knees followed by his rather more robust daughter. You must be so proud.

  15. Quick question, how many people feel they can even step foot into a M&S let alone buy anything. I bet Dawn French is going to be OK with the fee she received.

    In an ideal world, the public will become sick of personal data theft, and companies will tire of profit losses due to cyber crime. A pipe dream I know… but it might inspire people to use the high street again.

  21. Marks & Spencer just faced a massive £300M profit hit from a cyberattack that shut down online sales and sent its market value tumbling. How safe are our favorite brands in the digital age?

  22. I finally got an email (well, it was on Tuesday, but stuck in my Spam folder) from Marks & Spencer about their "cyber incident". Obviously it was sent via a 3rd party, Everest Engagement

    "Unfortunately, the nature of the incident means that some personal customer data has been taken, but there is no evidence that it has been shared. The personal data could include contact details, date of birth and online order history."

  23. Oh, interesting! Are #MarksAndSpencer customers entitled to a slice of this pie, what with our private data that is supposed to be protected stolen and all, or nah? (I'm guessing nah. #FinancialTimes has nada to say about it.) ft.com/content/723b6195-1ce7-4

  24. Marks & Spencer’s IT came to a grinding halt when a crafty cyberattack using “Scattered Spider” tactics crippled online sales during a peak holiday. How did a major retailer get blindsided so hard?
