I asked Microsoft's AI to decline a proposal of marriage for me, because of my love of Charles Dickens. No-one offered to marry me, I just have too much time on my hands.

Horse Shoe Brewery on Tottenham Court Road, London, in 1906. This was the site of a disastrous beer flood in 1814, when over a million pints of liquid crashed through the brewery’s back wall, flooding nearby streets and cellars and killing eight people.

@VictorianLondon “What if I want to remain friends after declining the proposal.” “Pip, dear old chap…”
@VictorianLondon @i_am_mill_i_am Dickens called one of his sons Edward Bulwer Lytton. I only mention this because I happened to read it an hour ago.
@VictorianLondon @DickensFellowHQ That always astonishes me too, the fact that he could owe £40 to the bakers (especially if his annual rent was £25). I mean, I love bread too, but that seems excessive! 😂
@MsAshtonDennis @VictorianLondon I seem to recall reading he was considered a spendthrift. The type to always get alllll the trimmings. 2 mutes per funeral stuff.
@VictorianLondon They wanted to give Charles something to write about...
@VictorianLondon Because most people did live on tick. Just as they do today.
@baylissbaghdad @VictorianLondon @DickensFellowHQ There's a penetrating portrait of a gambler in The Old Curiosity Shop.
@VictorianLondon @DickensFellowHQ I don't get the impression the man was a gambler. Obviously if he dressed like Beau Brummel it would have been possible to spend 17x the median income on clothes, but poor investments seems more likely than a serious turmeric habit.
@VictorianLondon there's probably another wife, and another family to provide for!🙂 imagine, Charles Dickens half-brother was Renton Nicholson..
@VictorianLondon A kind of 'Nancy's Steps' phenomenon 🤣🤣
@VictorianLondon @TheWansteadtap Wooh! See you there!
@VictorianLondon Hollands (from the Dutch Genever that gave us the word gin) would have been served with water.
@VictorianLondon @austin_maureen It could be hot water for negus made from red wine or port, lemon juice, sugar and boiling water.
@VictorianLondon They look respectable to me. He is wearing a sword - a gentleman. They look taken aback by his proffering a token - not so much a ring as a small posy maybe? The clothes look good quality. Interesting. I'd love to learn more about them.
@VictorianLondon You could try @GeorgianFun , she's written on lodgers and may have some relevant figures for renting rooms.
Every day, Ukraine is losing its people, its territory, its electricity. I ask Congress to vote now on Ukraine aid. It’s vital to US interests that Russia is stopped from taking a country of 40M by force. We lived this history in Europe before & we know the cost of failing to act
