I have a love/hate relationship with my Primark. 3 floors of mayhem usually that I try and avoid, but occasionally I realise that I have to venture out and clothes shop rather than just do it online Everything is everywhere, take no notice what the size is on the hanger because that in no way collates to the size of the clothing hung on it. If said item of clothing is a size 12 then it will only fit you generally if you are a size 10 (though this can work either way, sized up or down) either way, clothing is never a standard size.

Milling around the store with various expressions ranging from shock and panic to complete disinterest are several young members of staff who endeavour to make some order from the piles of clothing on the floor. This is akin to trying to hang washing in a hurricane.

Head for the shoe department where you can play a wonderful game of "find the left shoe" as you grasp the last size 7 boot anywhere in the store and desperately search for its 'sole' mate.

Fear not though, should things get too much for you, you can always head over to homewear, which for some very strange reason is usually a den of tranquillity.

Aye that sounds like i should give it a miss then.. is the attraction just that its very very cheap or are some of the clothes nice then?

Some of the stuff is lovely, and VERY cheap. Unfortunately it usually goes first and then reappears on ebay at three times the price.

Most stuff in there is cheap though, undies 50p a pair etc and for blokes they have really nice suits and shirts as well. Oddly the mens clothes always seem to be a much more 'true' size than the womens.

much like Lirin I prefer to sit at home and order online wherever possible!

Yes...some of the stuff is good, depends when you get there. I fully profess to have absolutely no understanding of the people who arrive at Next at 0500 on Boxing Day though....

Oh yes, I know what you mean. I had the misfortune to take a nagging teenage son to the Trafford Center on boxing day to buy a MacBook Pro with his Christmas money. Never EVER again. I nearly murdered several women in the carpark and in the end went to get a starbucks and a box of Krispy Kreme's and retreated to the car and left him to it
