I can't bear the shop. I know there are some bargains to be had, but I just can't bear it! Our one is big, untidy, and noisy and I just feel as if I'm walking through a scruffy street market. Hate it!

I don't buy much from there. I buy hairbrushes, make up remover pads and bits n bobs. My granddaughter loves it because she can get a lot of clothes for little money.

We have a small Primark here,trouble is you see everyone wearing the same thing and we all know where it came from , not for me .

I've never bought anything for myself from Primark, but when the Newcastle store first opened I bought a sweater for my then teenage son. It was one of the best things I ever bought. It washed well and never lost it's colour.
Last year I bought my granddaughter a pinafore dress, she loved it and was disappointed when she outgrew it.

We have a small Primark in our nearest town and that's enough for me.

I’ve never been in a store. No interest.

In Milton Keynes we’re getting a new Primark next week. DGD is so excited, it’s her favourite shop.
I’ve had a mooch round our existing Primark a couple of times but never seen anything I fancy.

Sadly the don't cater for my size but family members buy from there.

Oh I love having a roam around Primark. I've had some lovely bits for our little ones from there, they are doing some particularly nice Disney bits at the moment.
I do appreciate there's an awful lot of rubbish but if you have a good rummage you can always find something

I'm not a particular fan of Primark but for anyone who is, the world's biggest one has opened in Birmingham. It is huge and contains a beauty salon, a barber's shop and two cafes smile
