I know with the recent press coverage of how Primark are accused of using child labour and I do not…read moreagree with this at all and quite rightly they have been through a bad time. However I am sure if you investigate a lot of the high street stores you will find exactly the same, at least they are trying to do the right thing by opening factories etc which do not employ young children. They also let the public have the benefit of cheap clothes unlike others who blatantly lie for the price tag. The clothes in Primark are cheap and fashionable. Not all good quality but if you delve into their jumble style rails you can find great things. 100% cotton tee shirts and shirts ( I bought a really smart shirt the other day for £1.00) Underwear and night wear, shoes and accessories. Mens jeans at £4.00 (ok for work!) mens jumpers at £6.00 Great looking clothes at the fraction of the cost. In these hard days I am glad to say we have such a shop on the high street.

There's about 5 styles of t-shirt, 2 styles of combar jeans, and a selection of garish ties in a variety of neon colours. If you buy something from here, you'll end up wearing the same as at least three other people you walk past in a given day.

But if what I have described sounds like your kind of clothes, then this is where you should go as there are no shops similar in Taunton.

Wendy listened to what I had in mind and, without fuss, found dresses and outfits that might suit me. She encouraged me to consider alternatives and was kindly honest about what did (and did not!) work. This is a wonderful place to come if you are looking for something special.

They have a good selection of costumes and accessories, all reasonably priced. On top of that, they have lots of party supplies, from balloons and streamers to facepaints and party poppers.
