Would probably have cost £15 in M&S. 5 pack of socks for £2, too. Helps keep the Bangladeshi kids off the streets, innit?

Good luck if it lasts for more than 2 washes :D

I have also had the 5 pairs of socks for 2 quid...and some jeans for 6 quid.

The socks stay up about as long as George Michael in a room full of naked women.

Had a walk through the Primark in Leeds, I've thrown better stuff away.

By:
Its almost getting to the stage where its cheaper to buy more than wash them
|
|
By:
That's certainly true of my kegs. There isn't a powder strong enough...
|
|
By:
I agree.Their socks are rubbish.
|
|
By:
Socks are rubbish everywhere, these days. I think theyre regarded as 'disposable', nowadys.

My M&S walking boot socks have lasted for years.

I was in London with Mrs Walsh a couple of weeks before Xmas. The Primark in Oxford Street was absolutely heaving. The line of people waiting to pay snaked all away round the ground floor. The security people had stopped punters coming in. Ive never ever seen a store so busy. Literally hundred, mostly asians I have to say, were lined all alongside the outside of the store waiting to get in.
Is the store really that popular with asians i wonder or are they simply more wise to a bargain than the ret of us? |
|
By:
They know about bargains as there are so many of them in the shopkeeping business.
|
|
By:
read the label on the socks it says not recomended to wear on feet with nails

They know about bargains as there are so many of them in the shopkeeping business. == ======= I see. So perhaps they buy sh!t load of these socks at 5 pairs for £2, then sell them on for a £1 a pair in their own shops or market stalls. That does make good business sense. Asians, sadly, know the score when it comes to getting a bargain. We are merely selling platers behind our ethnic "friends" |

I wouldnt dream of buying anywhere other than Debenhams . Quality clothing ,worth the extra money .
Primark ...nuff said Next ...Used to be OK ,now utter rubbish quality ,almost on a par with primark Burtons ...The Ultimate in fall apart clothing . River Island .... Seen better days |
|
By:
If you want to pay £50 for a pair of trousers when you can buy a pair to do the same job in Primark for £6, that's up to you.
|
|
By:
Wur ,what if the 50 quid ones last 9 times longer ?
|
|
By:
But they don't. The zip is just as likely to go on them and Primark clothes don't fall apart as some on here suggest. It's a myth.
|
|
By:
How do you pronounce said store?
Prymark or Preemark We say Preemark where I live in Cork I heard Londoners say same but some posh sweaty socks call it Prymark ! |

People say ee, but it should be eye

On holiday in Sydney- flea market near the hotel- chinese lady selling t shirts for equivalent of just over £1
bought some - she said she sold lots and lots to the same people who were working/ staying long term at the hotel the light went on when when i told her the laundry cost was more than the shirt :) |
|
By:
Wur...they lose shape,lose colour ,lose texture and don't fit correctly ...most are made from synthetic materials (as are Next) made in 3rd world countries using cheap labour ...... need i say more
|
|
By:
Wur I've never been to Primark - and am in no way a 'clothes snob' - so they may be very good for all I know, but ask Velasquez what happened to the underpants he bought from one of their shops!
|
|
By:
Mine fit okay and come out of the wash okay. The last time I bought trousers in M&S, they turned out to have a 'baggy crotch'. £36 and they went straight to the charity shop.

Watch you don't do someone an injury with that, Reg ;)

£2 jumpers and dogfish from the chippy.You sound like a real catch
|
|
By:

i don`t do rolex watches but i do do cashmere jumpers,worth every penny if you ask me :-)

M&S are total sh1t. Same stuff as Primark just 4 times dearer.
|
|
By:
Make that 6 times dearer. Primark trousers £6, M&S £35, and the zips are more likely to go, I find.
|
|
By:
Wur .
M&S is full of bullsh*t ..if their stuff was any good they wouldnt need to keep advertising |
|
By:
At least a decent cashmere keeps you warm and feels nice
|

I got three ties £1.50 each from BHS machine washable ,shrewd ;) .

Cashmere is king...but have you seen the M&S 'cashmere'? You could sneeze though it.
