    IT'S NOT TRUE

    It's going to be awful for the workers in there, having to tell people no, everything is not a £1

    I wonder who starts these rumours. Maybe Primark??? It is fantastic publicity for its new store. Pity the staff though as i bet they get some angry people who have not heard that it is a hoax.

    I believed it but thought it would only be certain stock put out that is usually about £2 anyway.

    That's a lot of experience you've got, there.Anyway, I can't believe that people thought this was going to be true! As if they're going to put things that retail for £10, £20, £30 etc. out for a pound. Ridiculous!

    Yes, loads of things. Some of the larger stores have a homewares section. Even in clothing, some pairs of jeans are between £15 and £20, for example.
