I’m pretty sure Oxford St at Xmas would’ve changed Dr Johnson’s mind about London

[World's End Stella]

I love the Brass Rail

Never done that but I take the family WES into London every year pre-Christmas to visit Selfridges, Fortnum and Mason, Harvey Nichs, Harrods or some combination of the four. We treat ourselves to lots of wonderful little things for the Christmas break; foie gras, caviar, pata negra, the finest smoked salmon we can find etc etc.

Followed by a meal. Last time it was that burger and lobster place in Harvey Nicks (not recommended), this year it shall be Goodmans in Mayfair.

This Friday as it happens.

Hang on. You go shopping in the West End at Christmas FOR FUN?!

You are one sick motherfùcker, WES and no mistake.

That is fúcking madness, isn't it?

fter that, he's going to eat American beef slurry.

Never mind madness, it’s fúcking child abuse in my book.

Jesus fùcking wept

Not really, I wouldn't describe it that way. We browse around and buy really nice food to enjoy over the holidays at the food courts.

And given where I live, it is rather nice to be amongst the hustle and bustle of one of the world's greatest cities.

Remember, unlike you and Charles I don't actually hate people.

We've done this, you know nothing of beef. We reached that conclusion some time ago.

Fair play to you, Wesley. I managed to get over half of my Christmas shopping done today in my lunch break around Covent Garden and Seven Dials. I sometimes brave the throng in Oxford Street and I can cope with it a lot better than an over-crowded pub.

Worst. Thing. Ever.

An over-crowded pub where you have to wait 5 minutes to get to the bar and order a beer.

So the Woodbine on match day, really.

Food Courts..... say no more.

Maybe you are just not very good at ordering a drink. I have heard this suggested.....
