Moog, I think you're making light of this disturbing trend.
Increasingly, department stores are committing street muggings on a
regular basis. I was in Leeds a few weeks ago, and Debenhams came up
behind me, held a knife to my kidneys, and demanded my wallet. Well,
what was I to do? I rabbit punched it in the haberdashery section and
took refuge behind the local branch of Dixons where it became
distracted by the reasonably-priced electronics.

Only last week, some local lad got his iPod pinched by Kendals driving
past on a moped, and a mate of mine in London says he got harrassed by
John Lewis and Selfridges, who were hanging around on a street corner
and drinking cheap cider. He saw a nasty gleam in the Menswear section
and reckoned it could have turned dicey if he hadn't legged it.

Be careful, that's all I'm saying.

Anywhere, where the fuck have you been?
