Live/Lead the life of Riley Live/Lead the life of Riley – вести жизнь Райли; вести праздную, сладкую жизнь (богатого человека) Since the 19th century there have been songs and later television characters to support the idea that a person called Riley once lived a rich and carefree existence, but no historical figure has been found. Probably Riley was supposed to be the archetypal Irishman and prejudiced English people characterized him as a cheerful sponger. In America, the phrase first appeared in print in 1918, but it was a 1940s radio program “Living the life of Riley” which later evolved into a television show that made the phrase common there: The treasurer took our money to Mexico where he lived the life of Riley until the police caught him. Lloyd’s Coffee House on Lombard Street – кофейня Ллойда на Ломбард-стрит Lloyd’s Coffee House, opened by Edward Lloyd around 1688 in Tower Street, London; the oldest and most famous coffee house in London (before tea was brought to England). This establishment was a popular place for sailors, merchants, and ship owners, and Lloyd catered to them with reliable shipping news. Just after Christmas 1691, the coffee shop relocated to Lombard Street (a blue plaque commemorates this location). This arrangement carried on until 1774, long after Lloyd’s death in 1713, when the participating members of the insurance arrangement formed a committee and moved to the Royal Exchange as The Society of Lloyd’s. Due to the focus on marine business, one of the primary sources of Lloyd’s business was the insurance of ships engaged in slave trading, as Britain rapidly established itself as the chief slave trading power in the Atlantic. The dangers involved necessarily meant that insurance of slave-trade shipping was a major concern. 102
