Big news - you can short-circuit the auction and secure lunch with me (or one of my brilliant colleagues) right now for a mere £10,000 for our excellent @FT_FLIC charity. Come on, you know you want to…
It's enough to make your head spin: bidding is now closed for @gilliantett after a kind soul made the first £10k donation to our @FT_FLIC charity to secure lunch w/her in time for Christmas. Not too late for you to do the same, or to just bid at https://t.co/bZTDHmojeV

OK Twitterati (as I will always think of you), bid early and bid often, especially for a (not free) lunch with an economics commentator lingering way down the bid table.
