    I think there's an error there: they say "But if you had only tuppence (two pennies), you could sleep leaning back against a rope..." but in Down and Out in Paris and London George Orwell describes those places as "the Twopenny Hangover":
    ...the lodgers sit in a row on a bench; there is a rope in front of them, and they lean on this as though leaning over a fence. A man, humorously called the valet, cuts the rope at five in the morning.

    Presumably, if one didn't wake up in time, one smashed one's face on the floor
