Dealing with technical debt

Unfortunately, it's common for technical debt to creep into even the best run backlog. How do you deal with it?

Thanks to James McCall for suggesting this topic.

The event will be held in the upstairs room at The Plumbers Arms. The sessions are informal and we are happy for you to eat the pub grub / drink during the meetup (the pies are pretty nice).

The pub's site gives directions: http://www.taylor-walker.co.uk/pub/plumbers-arms-belgravia/c0685/

Here's their map:
