Well, at least a smartie monster will be pretty.
When the abdomen pains start, move somewhere full of cretins. I suggest Primark in Kilburn ^_^

Noted about Primark.
I may decide on Oxford Circus though, I’m bound to only run into cretins there.

I'm sure there's some physical law
dictating that the faster you would walk normally, the slower the cretin you get stuck behind when trying to traverse Oxford Circus.

I believe you are correct,
I believe it is Sods Law, I am usually stuck behind tourists taking pictures of drains, lampposts and Topshop.

Years ago
I did have a strange moment where, in a moment of zen something-or-other, I managed to weave between all the cretins and was able to hoof it from Marble Arch to Tottenham Court Road in just over half an hour. I think it was possibly bought on by an excess of coffee that morning but I've never been able to repeat this feat.

My mum can do it
But she has some gift. I have to go for the shoulders-back-evil-glare approach to get through there quickly.

Hehe impressive stuff.
Although if you had consumed a vast amount of coffee you may have been levitating above everyone… that could explain it!?

I suppose it's one possible explanation
And certainly something to consider for next time I'm forced to head up that way.

Or I could just refuse to return to Oxford Street until such time as I have mastered levitation.
