The Johnson Jalopy
I'm sure that most people will recognize The Johnson Jalopy, but for the sake of education...
This is the converted ski-lift that transports tourist down the cliffs of Matlock Bath to reach the house that Boris Johnson (the former London Mayor) was born in in 1965.
As a protest, the operators of this contraption will only transport 90% of tourist back up the cliffs. If you're one of the annoying tourists who complain or tip too lightly, you'll find yourself climbing up the steep 500 ft path back to the top of the cliffs.

The Bride of Darkness.
I find slides like this fascinating.
Clearly someone forgot to use his Light-Meter, and massively under-exposed these slides...and yet, you could probably just about figure out the subject and the event. Just how bad does a bad wedding slide have to be to be unrecognizable?
