Do you shop at Primark? Do you like to? Do you think it is the devil?

I like Primark.
Is that wrong?
When all our clothes are made by some form of supposed "slave" labour or child labour (unless you are rather rich - what what!?) then is Primark really such a bad thing?
I'd love to hear about this because people give Primark such a bad name. They say things like the clothes don't fit or they aren't good quality but my experience has been exactly the opposite.

I like Primark, they make some good clothes and charge very good prices. I shop there and will continue to do so.
In what world is the Jane Norman brand considered posh? :eek:
I buy the odd thing from Primark, tights, brollies and stuff. I shopped in Jane Norman when I was younger and I cringe at that fact now. I think its over priced but still cheap and nasty.
Well, it's posher compared to Primark. Their stores don't have clothes all over the floor and chavs smoking in them (At least not at my nearest one).
i buy coats/jackets/trousers/dresses elsehwere though as i like a good cut.
Is Primark really that atrocious, can't say I've ever ventured in.
I don't buy things from Primark though. Their menswear is pretty terrible. Everything is so bland, cheap looking and low quality.
Jane Norman isn't posh or upmarket. It sells tarty, cheap looking tat, most of which looks like it should be worn by hookers.
OT
I hate Primark tbh. Even walking through the one at Lakeside makes me shudder. Probably though, I'd have loved it when I was a teenager as it's the modern day version of the street markets we had in my day.
The older I've got, the more I've cared about decent quality rather than quantity but I can totally understand why youngsters who just want disposable clothes to wear once or twice would love it.
Friends have said the store is good for tops and things and I've seen some good examples. However, I think Primark is a bit of a Marmite syndrome-love or hate it!!
I've bought a couple of coats from there before but the buttons fall off within about 4 months.. literally, I'd be walking down the street and a button would fall off..
I bought loads of jewellery recently - just bead jewellery - and bangles, but they're gorgeous!!
Yes it is, and no it doesn't. See, I can do the same.
They've washed really well & are so snug.
I've walked through the lakeside one when I've parked the car outside and the place makes my teeth itch. It looks like it's been ram raided about 15 minutes after it opens.
Sorry you've lost me there.
Yep, that's been my impression of it too.
its cheap and lasts ok, i've bought stuff from dearer shops that hasnt lasted as well as stuff from primark
You replied telling me that what I think is wrong, so I thought I would tell you that what you think is wrong.
i'm just stating my opinion which is that Jane Norman isn't posh in any way, shape or form. Ok, you disagree so we obviously have a different definition of upmarket but have a look at the website and tell me if you honestly think these clothes could ever be described as posh or upmarket.?

IMO, they look like the sort of clothes worn by tango tanned types like those silly girls in The Only Way Is Essex or the sort who think Alex Gerrard is a style icon
