My rule is if there's a queue outside there's too many inside. I'm not queuing. I'm using smaller shops and quality farm shops.
Big Shops re-opening today. Anyone going?

lol - don't worry, as some on here have taken exception to in the past I have a pretty dim view of our fellow citizens and their behaviour en-masse

Primark is popular with a certain type of shopper and has no online presence, so it's not surprising they're busy.
They did a massive about face, initially saying they wouldn't open unless they were completely happy it was 100% safe and now look
Not a retailer I would ever willingly give money to myself (cheap tat)

All? I’d be surprised if you could find any.
The government advice is still to maintain a 2 metre separation because “Boris’s effin ‘scientists’ explain that being 1m apart carries up to ten times the risk of infection of being 2m apart.

Local news showing massive queue's outside some stores in Manchester, namely Primark, Sports Direct, Foot Locker - you know essential stuff. Who the heck is travelling in ?

It's a horrible shopping experience anyway. I get dragged in with my daughter on occasions. Thankfully, she's a quick shopper, but it's like a stampede at the best of times. Can't stand the place.

Indeed - lowest common denominator and all that.. that said I am rather partial to their cheap T-shirts for daily wear (which tend to last OK) but they do sell a lot rubbish.Primark is popular with a certain type of shopper and has no online presence, so it's not surprising they're busy.

The only thing I can appreciate about them is at least they're passing on the cost savings of the clothing industry's ruthless exploitiation of third-world suppliers to the customer.. although I doubt the more disposible nature of their cheap, often low-quality products is doing anything to promote responsible and sustainable behaviour in the great consumptove masses
