    I think Primark have got far too many of the smock tops and need to shift some. I wonder what new stock is coming in? The smock tops make me look pregnant anyway.
    A minute at the till, a lifetime on the bill.

    Nothing tastes as good as being slim feels.

    Everything in my local one was full price, they only had one or two usual rails of clearance stuff, none of it was worth looking at. I got 3 tops, a bag, some knickers, all came up at full price.

    Unfortunately we don't have a Primark in Cambridge...nor do we have a Poundland or anything like that. The University owns most of the city centre (the land and buildings) and is very choosy about who it leases commercial properties to. We no longer have a Woolworths because the University decided it wasn't in keeping with Cambridge's "image" so they refused to renew their lease. Instead we got a second giant Next store.

    I wouldn't worry, the same was true of Oxford, but when Alders closed, Primark were the only people about with pockets deep enough to pay the council the stupid rent they were asking...and in they came...Greed always wins out in the end.

    Would really suggest you're not missing anything though, I'm with barginunter on this one - Primark's the closest I've ever been to hell. The chavs, the elbowing, the queues, the piles of clothes on the floor. Primark really does bring out the worst savages in your city, it's like visiting the zoo...And that's before you start thinking about the poor little indian kids :)

    They do have some pretty [STRIKE]good bargains[/STRIKE] cheap things though, the gf loves it.

    I would disagree on the suggestion "you're not missing anything". I think Primark is fantastic, you go in places like Next, Dorothy Perkins etc and you will see the same stock for the whole of that season, whereas Primark, you have to grab it and buy it (well that's my excuse :)) as various items can sell out in a day to be replaced by something new....nowhere else I know of can do this. Plus the quality and cut of the clothes have vastly improved in the last couple of years. I also think their bras are fantastic too......:beer:

    Our Primark used to be like a jumble sale with queues and clothes on the floor but since they moved into the refurbished littlewoods it's fantastic, clean, light and on four floors. Just perfect for my holiday shopping for going to Benidorm which will no doubt be wall to wall primark.

    The Oxford branch is great so clean and bright and lots of room. I cannot ever remember seeing it messy ? I go mid week when kids are at school though. With the Next clearance next door i can now justify the £5 bus ticket into oxford cos i know i will get bargains :)
