Happy Birthday, Robert Peston! May your celebrations be as lively and engaging as your legendary explanations of economic meltdowns. Your knack for turning complex financial jargon into digestible nuggets has saved countless viewers from confusion-induced headaches—truly a public service!From breaking down the 2008 crisis to grilling politicians with razor-sharp wit, you've made economics entertaining (who knew that was possible?). Here's hoping this year brings you even more scoops, fewer market crashes to report on, and plenty of cake that's richer than any hedge fund manager's bonus. Cheers to another fantastic spin around the fiscal calendar!
