    I love reading posts on this (and other) forum(s) (or should that be fora???)! So many of them show how goddamn awful our education system really is!

    However, what has this to do with money saving?????

    If you can't find any of the above in your area, try Lildl, Aldid or TK Mex. Sunsburys, Merrysons and Weightrose are good too.

    Dont forget Preemark & Merks & Spancers :p

    Both. Depends where you are. Everyone in Wales calls it Pr-ee-mark. Everyone I knew in England called it Pr-eye-mark. Regional variations.

    Thank you for your answer! I'm in Scotland and to be honest it wasn't a shop I'd ever come across until it opened recently. Seems okay for cheap "disposable" kids clothes but haven't bought much yet!

    No probs. I've been doing a little investigating on the subject and (according to wikipedia, which I know isn't always 100% accurate) they market it differently - Pr-ee-mark in Wales, Scotland and N. Ireland, and Pr-eye-mark in England. How odd is that?

    I know some people who swear by it for cheap but fashionable-looking clothing.
