I tried some of the £1 tops on today. I'm normally a size 10/12 but all the 12/14's were far too tight!! I think you have to be super thin for this shop.

Hi:

Yes, I was in the Liverpool primark 2 weeks ago and they have a full floor of summer stuff. My auntie got kids' clothes for her grandaughters from there, so they must have kids' stuff in stock as well!

Anything decent in for boys for our summer hol to Turkey? Sizes would be around 9-10yrs, 11-12 and 13yrs? i'm finding it really difficult this year, the choices for boys seems very limited in the supermarkets compared to what they have for girls :( I have to kit the boys out in smart casual for evenings, crop pants that sort of thing?) Don't want to spend a fortune going to Next or similar for stuff they will prob not wear again

So true twinkletoes, there is always loads of choice for girls, but the choice of reasonably priced stuff for my 13 year old son seems non-existant. :bawl

If I knew Primark had a fair selection of decent stuff for him, I would be willing to travel to one and buy his holiday wardrobe there. If I buy loads in Next, Top Man & M&S with the types of summers we get here I won't get any wear from it and next summer it won't fit. Grrrh ! :que

Try sports direct (either on line or in the stores) for boys crop trousers............

Thanks TAH-M I will give them a look. It is crop trousers that I am particulary interested in.

Sorry for taking this off topic from Primark. Doe

I get my sons hol clothes in soccor world shop. YSL shirts for about £12 and cropped trousers for about £8, really nice evening ones. Its really hard generally though to get teenage boys clothes at reasonable prices now!

Thanks sandyglen. I cant wait to have a look round the london store, and get one of those posh bags :) My pals are hoping to visit Harrods, but im sure they will get a few outfits in primark for the cost of a pen in their. As a special treat we are hoping to visit the ritz for tea and scones, but they might turn us away when we all turn up with primark bags :rofl

I'm going for a Primark holiday shop this afternoon :D

There was some gorgeous flip flops from there on This Morning yesterday. Well I say flip flops, more like sandals really. I can't stand the thing inbetween my toes on flip flops so ones that go across my foot are quite difficult to come across but these ones look really nice, and only £7, just hoping they've got them in.

Got two of the hand luggage type bags yesterday. One of thems been on two holidays and still in great condition, really good for £6.

Hi Jackie :)

I'm not sure when you are coming to London, and you may possibly know this anyway, but I think you might have to pre-book tea at the Ritz depending on how busy it is etc. Hope you don't think I am interfereing, but I was worried that you might just turn up on spec and might be disappointed.

Sorry well off topic again, Doe

hya doepsmc,

Thanks for telling me about booking at the ritz, Im not sure about booking, as we going this weekend and have probably left it too late. Looks like cuppa and a mcflurry in Mcdonalds :D At least we wont look out of place with our primark bags in their ;)

Hi,

The Ritz does tend to get booked up for afternoon tea but the restaurant in Fortnum and Mason's down the road (towards Piccadilly Circus) always used to be an excellent substitute and it was always easier to get a table!

Gentlemen will require a tie at the Ritz, do Primark sell them?
