I just survived Crassmas top-up shopping at Liverpool Street Station. I failed to find Lush, in the search for a smelly thing for
arkady's daughter, but that's probably just as well, as I overheard two women talking about how one had waited in the queue there for half an hour and given up.
I did pass Claire's and see the w0rngest gift of the season: chrome play handcuffs. With little pink hearts stencilled onto them. £2.50. And remember, these are aimed at the young teenage girl market. No, I did not get them.
