Londoners ring in Christmas with hunks of meat

The auction ends with a ritual of coin tossing – the butcher tosses a coin for heads or tails while the punters bet him for the meat. The rules of this game are simple: if you guess heads or tails correctly you take home the said piece of meat for free, if you guess incorrectly, you must pay the butcher his asking price. The crowed cheers for each correct guess and booes for each wrong one. One elderly lady is unlucky in her guess but in true christmas spirit Lawrence decides to give her the turkey anyway. The crowd approves.
