Now, I don't know if it's just a think thats going on in the Uk - (I don't know if primark exists elsewhere) but what is the new obsession with this shop?! I've never been there - have no idea what clothes they sell... but everyone seems to be going there... Anyone want to shine a little light onto this?? because I havn't a clue!

ah right - there's a shop near where I live called 'choice' and they sell all the rejected m&s stuff... I was under the impression that it was like the new 'emo' trend.. mainly because all the 'emo's' at school go there and buy stuff.. hmmz..

They've just opened a big one in Leeds. I had a look around, they don't sell a huge variety of clothes, they must buy in bulk or something.

I can see why emos would shop there, the clothes are cheap enough so that when a new fashion comes in that they just *have* to follow, they can afford to buy those clothes too.

oh my God, in Belfast, you're not a true citizen if you haven't bought something from Primark, sometimes it's great for a bargain, but most of the times a lotta hoking is required to get something good and generally i can't be annoyed

I like my clothes to last longer than 10 minutes, so I don't shop there.

Arguably, the quality isn't always that great, but I've got stuff from there that's lasted a good coupla years, you've just got to have a good eye for it.

Ummm...Not to my knowledge, Gary. The nearest I know in the centre of town is Oxford Street, they're meant to be opening one up there.

I'm not sure that its open just yet, but if you should find yourself in outer London, there's one in Lewisham, Bexleyheath, and Bromley.

NightShade, I live in Leeds - that shop is the bomb! Haha. Alot (most, infact) of the clothes are at first glance a bit old, or a bit 'townie' (chav-like, whatever) but so many can be worked to make a great outfit if you wear them in your own way. And so cheap! Plus they imitate all the other cooler costume jewellery on the high street, but at about a tenth of the price. And cute knickers for £2 a pair? sorted.

(there's one where I lived in Kilburn Gary, on Kilburn High Road, that's not too far from Wembley.)

lol, well maybe I didn't give it enough of a chance. I tend to stick to shops I *know* are good, I've heard Primark clothes aren't that reliable. I tend to wear out good quality clothes quite quickly, I don't know how really, and since I heard Primark wasn't great quality, I was reluctant to buy anything.

But... from clothes - i want them to last... I'm more of a burton and next kinda guy.. at least i get what i pay for.. but i will still give it a whirl.

Hmmm...I don't know about reliable. I love my clothes and I get bored of things fast so I tend to buy cheap and quirky, except for staples like jeans etc. I've never really expected a primark skirt or top to last me a years frequent wear or anything.

(Next Men's is complete pants. Talk about blandness.)

Only clothes wise you mean. You're not a bland personality.
