This branch of the discount giant Primark is worth a mention for a couple of reasons. The first is its sheer size - 4 large floors of cut price goods and the second is the building itself. It was built in 1785 to house a bank and still looks impressive today among the city centre buildings. Of course, like most city centre buildings, it was bombed during the 1970s but came through the other side and was refurbished to its former glory. Now, the inside. Unless you have been under the proverbial rock for the last 2 years, you will have heard of the Primark phenomenon and the age of disposable fashion. Setting aside the moral and ethical questions about how goods can be made and sold at such low prices, Primark is the king of cheap fashion and homewares. And do you know what, no matter how vehemently people deny it, I bet every house in the country has at least one item from Primark. This branch is massive and stocks everything from fashion to kids school uniforms, bedding and cushions, shoes, accessories, gift wrap and greeting cards and at Christmas, decorations and toys. There's no doubt that there is a high volume of tat to be found, but in among it are some great finds. Personal bests are a faux fu coat, chunky necklaces and boys shorts which are totally Boden-esque,a nd all for sill silly prices. A word of warning, you won't have a sophisticated or upmarket shopping experience. On one occasion, someone actually shoved me right out of her way and gave me what's called in Belfast 'a real mouthful'. I kid you not. So keep your head down, make no eye contact and gather up those bargains. read more
