We've got one in Stafford which is pretty good and on a weekday it isn't too busy. We're getting a huge one in Birmingham late next year though (the current one is very dated and like a jumble sale). They bought an entire shopping centre just off New St which had closed down and it's currently being refurbished. Apparently it's going to be their biggest UK store.
Our nearest Primark is Darlington, about half an hour by car. Or Sunderland, same. Hartlepool is a bit jumble-sale-y so I don't go there often even though it's easier to get to than the others.
There was talk of us having one at the Arnison Centre near Durham City but that didn't happen. Peacocks is great but again none close to us.
That's a shame Gal! I walked through ours yesterday, to cut through into Kings Walk, and they have some very nice plain jumpers, in great colours, for a fiver!!!! Cheap as chips!
Jo, I might have to jump on a train and take a !look see when it's finished!
