"See that ballbag? That's you that is."

lol, from History Today?

Welcome once again to History Today. I'm afraid that tonight the axe is hanging over our programme. We have been warned that unless we properly explore tonight's topic of discussion, the Industrial Revolution, my and Professor F J Lewis' tenure on the television will be terminated forthwith. So Professor Lewis, what do you feel were the primary problems faced by urban society during the period 1702-56

Well, the industrial revolution caused a shift to urban conurbations by what had been largely aggrarien populations and communities and so forth. This led to very poor living conditions in general. Samuel Peeps gives a particularly harrowing account of one man whom he describes thus: "He had scurvy and rickets and was covered from head to foot in festering sores. All in all he was quite the most ghastly apparition of a man i had ever seen."

I see. And who exactly was this poor unfortunate?

That's you that is. That's the nicest thing he could find to say
