Advantages: Cheap! Disadvantages: Call quality is poor, access numbers can be busy.

My main gripe is that the call quality becamse appalling at times, when calling America - to the point where I had to redial. There were echoes of what I said 4 or 5 seconds ago, static, and so on. Recently it's got better, but I'm still distrustful.

The other annoying thing was that the London number was often engaged - fair enough, it may be the favourite, but they should provide more access lines if they want mt to use the card!
Overall, though, it beats some of the other cards that I've had the (mis)fortune to run into over the years, and I'd probably recommend it.
Advantages: Cheap! Disadvantages: Messy, long wait to buy/try on
Primark, my favourite shop in the world!! The company has around 177 stores across Spain, UK and Ireland- where it trades as Pennys. It is most famous for being one of the budget high street shops. I live in London and regularly shop at the Hackney and Oxford Street branches, but have also been to others whilst traveling around the UK, including Blackpool, Brighton, Crawley, and Chatham to name a few. I think I can safely say that all Primarks are pretty much the same.
When going to a Primark store, in my opinion you have to really be in the mood to shop. Nothing seems to be where it should be, often clothes are on the floor, on the wrong rails and often you will find yourself being shoved out of the way for that last top in the only colour that you wanted! It can be a bit of a nightmare, but i think it is worth it!!
As a female ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of Primark (Shop)
The main reason that i love this shop is the wonderful aroma that spreads out from the shop! All the perfum seems to mix and turn into an amazing smell. I love the perfumes you get from there, such as vanilla musk- my favourite perfume in the world. And although it's definately not as cheap as superdrug and boots, the quality is great and actual produce is really good quality. You can get little baskets for about £10 which are great and simple for birthdays. The stores are very well laid out and it's easy to find what ever you want. This store isn't expensive, good quality and the staff are really helpful adn friendly. ...
Advantages: Slightly larger sizes Disadvantages: not quite big enough in the boots
- and I'm sure there are lots out there. I have size nines, just half a size too big to be considered as a customer by nearly all shoe shops in this country. I don't know why they insist on pretending that no girlies have feet beyond an 81/2 but they do, and as a result shoe shopping is one of my least favourite activities in the world. I cannot tell you how much I resent trailing round shop after shop being made to feel like one of the Ugly Sisters as shoe after shoe fails to fit my feet.
Then I discovered Nine West. Now, their main secret is that they are an American chain and American women are commercially allowed to have big feet. So they are just that bit bigger - and vitally, that bit wider too. This means that often as not, I can get into their 8 1/2s They also make shoes in a size 8 1/2 that don't look like they were made ...
