Anything worth buying in Primark lately?

[Beauregard]

Need some basic tops etc but is there anything really lurvely in there?
Haven't been for a few months.

I am wearing a long dress today, I brought in Primark a few years, i wear it every year, lots of people commented on it today.

is the lake side one biger than the new southend one or the basildon one

According to wikipedia the largest primark in the uk is in Cardiff. The Oxford St one is the "flagship" store though. Whatever that means.

flagship means it the "best" store

they get all the new ranges first etc

Huzzah!

went to the new one in oxford street, felt so lost in it and didnt hang around as it was too busy for my liking. but i love the night wear in there, have a nice collection at home.

Just had my first experience of Primark today. I am not particularly poor and like luxury stuff too but I also like a good bargain and I hate being ripped off. So for 100% cotton t-shirts, jeans, pjs etc for kids who will grow out of stuff in 6 months it is fantastic! Plus nice recyclable paper bags. Oxford ST retailers watch out.

Mind you have to allow half an hour to queue for the checkouts.

am loving my 100% linen wide legged trousers for 8 quid

i heard a mum in the nightmare playground slagging off another mum saying ' shes more primark than prada iyswim' i butted in 'id take that as as compliment' silly women. prob why i have no friends at ds school!

God some of you are so bloody snobby.

I went to Primark a couple of weeks ago Pelvic. They have loads of very basic tops as normal and then a few slightly more fancy ones.
I think I got a plain black v neck top and also got a lovely green tunic style top that I am wearing today, and am pleased to say that I don't look at all chavvy.

The clothes also last more than 2 washes, as obviously I wouldn't keep buying from there otherwise, am skint not thick.

That Orla Kiely bag is v.nice. I also got a wide orange belt today at Primark

And the staff were all polite and helpful. Not easy in such a busy store. Will definetely be going back, Anyway got great hoody sweatshirt for ds £1. £1??!! I mean, I ask you.

It's not easy wading through the piles on the floor in the Hackney Central one, hc...

i will take you on a mission kp . next week?

I like the Hacney Central one a lot but it's def worth going west and try Oxford St unless you don't like crowds, hc. They really have a massive selection.

ooh, an offer I can't refuse as long as our, ahem, working-on-childcare-at-home days crossover somewhere, hc.

k

i bought fab grey cardi from there love it

and linen short sleeve top very tasteful

were some weird orange jackets in there though - don't get one of those!!

Although Scummymummy paints a most tempting picture of this Oxford Street one...

I was once evacuated from the Mare St one after the police followed someone in with a machne pistol...

I went looking for a maxi dress specifically yesterday in Primark (new one just opened in Bedford) and found nothing that went remotely near my ankles(I am 5'8")!! v peeved to hear there are long dresses to be found - didn't stop me spending 40 quids on tops and jeans - I thought their simple cotton smock tops v nice and wearable and good for hiding post baby jelly belly

Ah but that could have happened in any shop in Hackney Central, Mrs Badger, the Woollies for example.
