It’s a Toffee Crumble!!! Very rare specimen, the Toffee Crumble, sadly. Those train seats are amazing – I might get them for my house… xx

A trolley, Joshua! A trolley for a glitter ball! Will never forget the bemused look on the face of that guy at the National Archives at your interest in their trolleys… x

Ah, my beloved city. How well you portrait it.
I'm glad you liked it and the Pastéis de Belém. You can't have only one, very true.

Collecting rubbish by colour and re-naming the street after it's citizens are my favourites!

Yay! I really enjoyed the proposals and even thought of one I'd like to see too – catadore trading cards, recycled card stock with the catadores picture and a few details , to be traded by young and old alike to get a complete set. A way of revaluing the catadore, even if it does create more objects.

Re Catador

Every public event you go to in Rio there are very poor people – often gangs of very young children – collecting cans. They scrabble around under everyone's feet, dragging big plastic sacks of discarded cans. So yes, its great that Brazil recycles so many of its discarded cans, BUT the system depends on families being so desparate for cash that they need to send their children out, late at night, into the streets to collect them.
