Advantages: Good prices

Disadvantages: the quality can be lacking on occasion.

I think it probably fair to say that Primark is what every shopoholic's dreams are made of. Primark is a cheap fashion retailer for men, women, children and they also do homeware. With things like Jeans from six pounds a pair it is a shopoholic or student haven.

Personally I find the stores bedlam. There is always too much stuff cramped in any which way they can get it in and mid day the stores just a mess. In fairness to Primark it is as much the customers mistreating the store and the staff battling against them to keep it tidy, but it does remind me of a jumble sale.

As for the clothes, some of the things I have purchased have been okay, some on the other hand have started to fall apart a couple of washes later. I find the clothes are never sized correctly either. I much prefer their accessories in honesty, from bags to costume jewellery and stuff for fancy dress. I think the best thing I ever purchased was a pair of ballet pumps that cost me four pounds two years ago and they are still holding their own today.

Staff wise I find in my local Primark there are either 100 staff or no one to be found at all. Normally there are plenty of cashiers however and they do try to keep the queues constantly moving which is good.

All in all I think you need to be a certain kind f shopper to get on I Primark. If you do not mind routing in the minefield of clothes and have an eye for fashion this is probably your kind of shop.

Summary: A huge minefield of cheap clothes and accesories.
