I don't know what is quite happening here but.. Today,there Iam browsing in Primark(the only shop I can afford to buy clothes in)and some poor lad had his fingers caught in the lift. I just thought >>>>>>>>>>>. Anyway,about six months ago I was in another primark store when all of a sudden there was upraw.
. It turns out that a litle girl had fallen down the escalator whilst being in her buggy, it was horrible. I can't go back to sore. I also read that something happened to some poor child in Liverpool in a store over the holidays.Primark, take note improve your health and safety.....

MARGOsBeenPlayingWithMyNooNoo · 08/10/2008 16:16

I've just searched re. the little girl who fell. She left hospital a couple of weeks ago to go home. I wasn't able to read the full story.

I read with great interest in the comments about Primarks ( HEALTH & SAFTEY ) ???
My sister triped on one of the peices of plastic (it was on the floor ) the ones that are use for hanging shoes.
she broke her leg it 2 places and had to undergo intensive surgery, she still after a year and a half has exurciating pain in her leg and the visits the doctor and surgeons are ongoing as a result.
PRIMARK say they have NO health and saftey isue's LOL Strangest thing is they found the C T fotage of my sister with everyone around her whilst they waited for the ambulance, but misteriously no footage of the actual accident.mmmmmmm. She did try and claim compensation but they wouldn;t admitt liability.......WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE??? any assistance or advice would be greatfully accepted

tethersend · 10/07/2010 23:17

Are you the same person who wrote the first fifteen comments, Champchick? Or just another dissatisfied Primark customer who is inexplicably drawn to the relationships section of a parenting forum in order to express their disgust?

I get confused>>>>>>>>>>>

BosomForAPillow · 10/07/2010 23:48

What an odd thread to be revived.

I reckon Champchick googled Primark Health and Safety and >>>>>>>>>> this thread came up.

QueenOfHearts22 · 11/07/2010 15:22

Lol at "Think you need to be more complacent-if you know that means"...I think you mean 'compassionate', if you know what that means Well, unless you do actually mean complacent, in which case...uuuhhh...I'm confused.

Just joking, hope I don't upset the OP.

skyeplusbump · 11/07/2010 15:25

weird...a few months ago a little boy (about 2) got his arm caught in the electric doors,it was awful,took ages to get him out...

louii · 11/07/2010 15:36

This thread is surreal!

RespectTheDoughnut · 11/07/2010 15:43

I love this thread

DuelingFanjo · 11/07/2010 15:47

what a bizzare thread and a bizzare bump!

CoronaAndLime · 11/07/2010 15:53

I went into a primark store once.

Nothing else to say really. Just wantet to add my support and ask if I may have some rice with my karma. Thanks.

pagwatch · 11/07/2010 15:57

Primark smells odd.

FranSanDisco · 11/07/2010 16:00

Really, my relationship with Primark has been doomed from the start as I absolutely refuse to enter the place due to the crap they sell. Thanks for listening.

pagwatch · 11/07/2010 16:03

My bf has been going to primark without telling anyone.
On the surface she is being an average wife and mother and then, you know, she just turns up for coffee and you can see that the v-neck is a bad colour and it whiffs a bit...

I keep dropping hints in the hope she'll open up to me, stuff like 'they had a handbag from Primark in Elles last week. It really didn't look that shite'...
But she won't bite.

How will it end? Will I catch her one day at home wearing an outfit totally crafted from nylon.
Should I stay friends with her. Or maybe tell her DH.
Ultimately I am concerned. She has a DD

FranSanDisco · 11/07/2010 16:06

You must speak to someone but I think you know this. Good luck

Comewhinewithme · 11/07/2010 16:08

My friends little girl had to have an op on her fingers after getting them trapped in an escalator in Primark last year!

PrettyVacant1 · 11/07/2010 16:16

What are you doing wasting time on MN Pag
This woman needs help.
God only knows the risk she's putting herself in.
Go round pronto armed with Boden for the good of her family.

Just a scalf or two to start with, you don't want her alienate her.

< Won't somebody think of the children>

PrettyVacant1 · 11/07/2010 16:18

Not making light of injured children btw.
No offence CWWM

SagacityNell · 11/07/2010 16:29

I don't think its purely primark that these happen in.

Odd thread >>>>>>>>>>>>

gibbberish · 11/07/2010 16:37

hahahaha at this thread being resurrected again. Is just as bizarre second time around!

LarkinSky · 11/07/2010 21:45

This thread just gave me a much-needed laugh.
Although I'm still none the wiser as to why it was posted in Relationships...
I think everything about Primark is a health and safety risk.

ShadeofViolet · 11/07/2010 21:51

What an odd thread, and an odd section for it to be in.

Pag - your friend needs help, but you cant help her until she decides she needs it. I have a friend in a similar position - if you ask her where she gets her clothes from she will say Topshop, but the label clearly says Atmosphere. I worry for her, I really do
