Blackpool one is the best by a long way, may have to have a look in at weekend whilst we are over that way.

Re: Primark..do you or dont you?
lol yeah i have looked at oxfam online
- if you dont want to trundle through the one item clothing ( which may not even fit you when you get it) then there is fair trade fashion
i took a peek at the skirts very nice, prices start at an unbelievable £60.00 :O

so the train to blackpool again i think

I'm not being stingy, but I would want a full body transplant for 60 quid...either that or something I would be wearing every day until the day i shuffle off this mortal coil.

Re: Primark..do you or dont you?
And it would have to be something very spectacular for me to pay that much for second hand gear. Oxfam or no oxfam!

Re: Primark..do you or dont you?
Clothes don't seem to be made in the UK any more. Certainly clothes from M&S and Mothercare are all made abroad.

Whether they are produced in reputable factories abroad or cobbled together on Pat Pong Market I don't know.

I wouldn't knowingly buy clothes that had been made using child labour in foreign sweat shops.

Re: Primark..do you or dont you?
I tried the one in Plymouth when I visited my daughter last year and hated it. The prices were fine and I did have fun helping my eldest grand-daughter in the teenage section but for stuff for me it was a nightmare.

All that pushing and shoving, no, never again.

Re: Primark..do you or dont you?
Don“t tell my brother yet but I am hoping to get to Ossy in October, that“s if the exchange rate improves. He usually drags me off to Blackpool to see the lights. Happen we might do a deal and I can check out the Primark x
