"Boxing" Day...literally

Weather: Sunny (as if Mother Nature gave her approval of boxing day sale)

Two innocent young ladies walked down to Oxford Street at 10.30am, new to the whole "Boxing Day" phenomena, ignorant of the terror awaiting them. And then it began. The "boxing" crowd grew larger and larger till they filled up every corner of the road. Traffic almost came to a standstill as these people dashed their way from street to street without a care of anything but their purpose - to buy, buy, buy! Our young heroines were almost squashed by the crowd too as they attempted to find some good bargains. It was tough business. Definitely not suitable for our heroines, who soon decided to end the day after some small purchases. Perhaps better luck tomorrow.
