#otd 1855 in Haworth the funeral of Charlotte Nicholls, known to us by her maiden name Charlotte Bronte. Rev Sutcliffe Sowden presided over the service, as he had over Charlotte's wedding less than a year earlier. In 1861 Sowden died aged 45 after falling into a canal in fog.

The Haworth Old Post Office has opened to the public yesterday. The place is beautifully restored and steeped in history. This is the actual post office that the Brontës used and the place still has the original counter where the Brontë Sisters posted their manuscripts.

But housing markets are far from competitive. Landlords exercise monopoly power over a spatially fixed location. Information is highly asymmetric and imperfect

Hate calling stuff out on here, it's so not me, but with my emails now being ignored, I dunno what else to do. I invoiced Rolling Stone UK in early Dec for an interview I did with Ricky Gervais & Stephen Merchant. It's now nearly April and still no payment rollingstone.co.uk/tv/features/th…
