00:00I mean, I've been mugged on two occasions in London, and on both of them, it was me and there
00:06were two men.
00:08Now, I mean, I... Did I fight back? I didn't have an opportunity to the first time at all.
00:14I ended up on the ground and sort of curled up in the fetal position.
00:19And I thought that I might be safe there, and that because it was so public on a public pavement,
00:25that people would stop and help me.
00:27They tend to get their cameras out these days, their phones out, and film it instead, don't they,
00:31rather than actually joining in, because they're probably as afraid that they may get mugged themselves.
00:36Were they after anything in particular?
00:37Well, they wanted my handbag.
00:38Oh, I see.
00:39And because I was curled, and at the point when one of them kicked my head,
00:43and I suddenly thought, actually, having concussion is not worth it, and I just did that and let them take
00:50my handbag.
00:51But I then got up and chased them in the hope that somebody might stick a foot out and stop
00:56them from running away.
00:57But they were like a pair of young gazelles, and I was in heels, and there was no contest, really.
01:00So I look at my handbag.
