Between what she buys at Top Shop and other shops along her favorite stretch of Oxford Street, Girlawhirl is usually so laden down with packages that she has no other option but to find a taxi to take her back to her hotel.

 Police Arrest Devotees for Chanting Hare Krishna on Oxford Street (a true story from London)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
It was the Thursday before Christmas, and London's Oxford Street (the longest shopping street in the world) was brimming over with Christmas shoppers.
But all the shops were staying open late, so the street was still filled with pedestrians, though traffic had died down.
In the constable's version of the story, the chanting party miraculously grew from the original five members to seven--and later to eight when he described how three devotees "ran off and escaped arrest." According to his description, it seemed that there were many more people on Oxford Street than we had been aware of.
