It's cheap and sadly cheapness brings child labour from sweatshops in India and China.

dont shop there much but actually my mum bought me a skirt from there and it was beautifully cut .... was my favourite skirt but somehow ive lost it !!! god knows where it is....must have left it in a hotel somewhere !!!! and i bought a lovely limegreen and turqoise vest top in a charity shop which had the atmosphere label and its really a great colour and cut so they must have a very good design team there ...

There's a Primart in central Glasgow and it's a handy short-cut in foul weather but it reminds me of that crazy moment when the Minister declares the Kirk jumble sale officially open.

That said, there's always a huge queue at the tills so they must be doing something right.

You're probably right. They certainly don't sem to employ anyone to pick stuff off the floor.

I dont like it, though for strappy tops for holiday, in the day time, its ok as I dont bother bringing them back home with me.

I couldnt buy stockings from there. Im a big girl anyway so im sure they would roll down, but im a bit particular over stockings, if you spend more money on them then they do last. I always buy the Jasper Conran ones and they have lasted for absolutely ages. They are £8 a pair but they are better value than having to keep buying £2 Primark stockings and having them ruined after one wear.

To my mind, the one most like a jumble sale is T.K.Max.

Trace loves rumaging around in there and always seems to find one or two bargains but it always seems like a bring and buy sale to me.

"Great hold ups and at £2.00 per pair does it matter if they get ruined."

yes I get their holdups, very genrous on leg length and I need that.

also like the strappy cotton vests they do. comfy and good value as they do last and usually got a bit of length to them.

It is bldy messy tho so best go in first thing as someone else mentioned.

Im always wary of primark and any other cheap shops for hold ups as i need the long leg variety, might try a pair just to see, as you say if they get ruined it doesnt matter

Living in a Scottish office somewhere

I buy out of Primark and I also buy out of Harvey Nics and some of the Primark stuff has lasted better than the designer stuff. As for ethics I'm sure most designers have some part of their collections made in sweatshops abroad, from the fabric warehouses in China to the construction of garments in India, Primark arent the only offenders!

Turn left at the Singing Ringing Tree

Can't stand Primark, I go in, lose the will to live when shopping with teenage daughter, and need a Hotel Chocolat fix afterwards as a reward for being so brave.

However it's all about supply and demand. With the price of cotton increasing by 30% -the price of clothing is going to rise in the next couple of months.

"it looks cheap and nasty... don't agree with the child labour used to produce the clothes either. "

Sadly, you would have to go naked to avoid using clothes made in those conditions! Even M&S clothes are made in sweat shops!

Those trainers you have just paid a fortune for? Made in the same factory as a pair costing £25!

That "designer" T shirt that has just cost £75? Yep! Made in the same places as your bog standard clothes wear from places like M&S!

Think on this... If we all suddenly started buying from places that paid proper wages and had great terms and conditions for their workers, most of the sweat shops would have to close. If that happened, where would these people get money to live on?

It is as sure as eggs is eggs that the bosses wouldn't pay their workers wages like we have in the UK and if they did? We'd be better off making them here...

As for Primark? Yep, get clobber for fookin around in on holiday and throw it away before coming home! Leaves room for Mrs R to pack all the new stuff she buys in Cap D'Agde!!!

There is a reason Primark is cheap.... because it's cheap, badly mad crap.

I know a few people who love it and say "at that price who cares if it doesn't last".... having seen the stuff they bought it's a good job they don't mind.

I'd rather pay twice the price and get 4 times the wear.
