I hate Primark because it's always full of chavs when I go there with my mum.

It's funny because I would never wear primark clothes but they think they're nice clothes. Just shows they are used to rubbish. Having said that I bought a plain T shirt for Tennis from there but I purposely ripped it so I wouldn't have to wear it again. It didn't show off my physique because it was cut all wrong unlike the more expensive tighter fitting ones.

Call me a snob but I would not be seen dead in a pair of primark jeans. The lowest I go is Next for my jeans...

I shop at Next, H&M mostly for clothes and I think most people do. Well my friends do at least apart from a few overweight ones who don't care.

I love the shops with holistic medicines because they smell very nice like the body shop and other shops with 'natural' products.

Like River Island as it's the only place I can get jeans that fit me, and New Look.

Hate Topshop because I can never find anything in there I like. My brother bought me a £20 giftcard for there for my birthday (May) and it took me to January before I found anything to buy. And I hate Primark unless I go there at later shopping times when there's less people. I can't stand how messy and crowded it can get. It's why I never shop in sales either.

I love ASOS marketplace and Etsy for handmade/altered/one of a kind type of things.

I generally avoid Topshop and all other midrange high street places, purely because it's full of the same garbage and everyone seems to be sporting the exact same thing (you know, thinking they're grunge or whatever because they have an Iron Maiden top from Forever 21 :rolleyes:

)...

Every now and then though, I do find a really nice item in Primark for an absolute steal. I have a love/hate relationship with the Primark in Marble Arch, it's always horrifically busy and you always get that **** who stops in the middle of the walkway to hold a pair of jeans against themselves.

Favourites:
- Forbidden Planet (comics!)
- Waterstones
- WHSmith
- Sports Direct (I think the clothes they sell in there are so cool!)

I love books and comics and always visit shops that sell them whenever I can. :biggrin:

I usually avoid massive clothes shops (like the Primark in Wood Green) because they're often so crowded and noisy, and I usually end up with sensory overload from going in them. I only go and purchase stuff from them if my mum drags me in there.

I love new look and dorothy perkins. I quite like primark as well.
I also love pound shops, home bargains and b+m bargains.

I hate superdrug. I can always find toiletries, perfume etc that i like in other places that are the same/better but loads cheaper

I love and hate River Island.

They're overpriced, but their shoes are very good, and they have decent jeans.

On the other hand, the Arndale RI's staff includes a stacked indian girl who poses sluttily and dances when it's slow.

So, like most things, it's a tradeoff.

I love GAME and hate ANY clothing shop you can name.

Why? Gaming shops are awesome and clothes shops are full of annoying females or stupid males
