    Default The credit crunch




    The credit crunch is really biting now, I could see a few sqare yards of pavement unoccupied in Church St today.

    Nice pictures Joe. I was there yesterday and I commented on the exact same thing. Church Street and Liverpool 1 were heaving. I thought nobody had any money, seemed enough flowing yesterday. Looked more like a Christmas crowd. I noticed there were an awful lot of Primark bags being carried.

    Indeed they are.
    Primark is a pain in the butt being where it is. It's always packed outside The fella's all bored waiting outside and the chavs finishing a ciggie before they go in, usually with a pram and gabbing to someone else with a pram and why do so many "extra large" people sit around outside eating ?
    I've never bought anything from there and never intend to either. I have had to go in there once or twice. Nightmare.

    Looks can be deceiving. It gets over crowded with chavs and large people all buying tat. The stuff they sell falls apart within a week.

    I don't know what anyone sees in that shop. I've been in it approx 3 maybe 4 times but only accompanying someone else I might add.

    The stuff is cheapo tat. Most of the clothes are like rags, badly made and thin cheap material that creases as soon as you look at it.

    Shopping in there is an unpleasant experience ! - - the crowds - the noise the prams !! It's like pram city ! You can never get near the lift for pushchairs. What is it about Primark and pushchairs !?

    .. and I don't like the layout whereby you have to travel in a circle to navigate the store ! The crowds swirling around from floor to floor, from one escalator to the next, quite makes you dizzy ! it's like being carried along like the masses at the Holy Kaaba !! ha!
