I lived in a Victorian slum in Whitechapel in the early 80s. Fieldgate Mansions, Romford Street. Rent was £2.49 per week. Can't imagine what it would have been like with a large family there.

If anyone wants to use me as a talking head or rent a quote I suggest the following format:
"You were an economist at the BoE?'
"Yes"
"At the same time as Reeves?"
"Yes"
"Can you confirm that she was an economist?"
"Yes"
"How can you be sure?"
"She wrote lots of economics and I read it."

One of my patients used to organise goth festivals and she said that she had told him I play it. Apparently he went quiet for a bit and then said "I don't think I would like to be treated by a dentist who listens to my music"

We played this album by Voltaire in my (dental) surgery. The track 'When you're evil' is my theme song. His other work is rather more <ahem> robust. True story in next twit.
