Mum has gone to Primark

Kitty and I always go shopping together. I'm not one of those guys who sit in the carpark at supermarkets while she does the weekly shop. I always go clothes shopping with her...... but there are certain shops I just can't stand.

Primark is one of them. I don't know why, but there is just something about their cheap and cheerless clothing for the masses, that irritates me. The men's section has absolutely nothing I would be seen dead in. They attract a certain type of customer, who seem to throw stuff about all over the floor like it's a jumble sale. So for me it is not a particularly edifying experience.

Don't get me wrong here, I'm not being elitist or anything, If I'm honest, a lot of my favourite clothing has come from charity shops. But I just can't stand the place. I was just the same with Marks and Spencer's.

So whenever Kitty pops in there, I wait outside catching up on a bit of street photography. 😆

Looks like you are not the only one !

I can understand why you prefer to window shop and shoot here! Great capture and street scene.

[Nigel Rogers]

Great opportunity for a few candid shots, time well spent as opposed to money ill spent?

Wonderful street pic!!

[Susan Wakely]

Haha. A great candid shot. My husband avoids shops whenever possible and stays at home.

Harry loves shopping of any sort!! Making up for all the years he never went shopping when we were farming. I’m not a great fan of Primark myself but would be perhaps if I was young. Clothes porn & landfill as they don’t last. Our granddaughter loves charity shops. Great opportunity for street photos!

[Dorothy]

Yes, not a fan of Primark. They have them in the states now! Like your street shot.

[Neil]

Nice shot, very understandable commentary.

Lovely title.

I haven’t seen Primark in Canada yet but I wouldn’t shop there even if we did. I hate shopping. I do most of our grocery shopping and I’ll go to the hardware store but that’s it. I don’t sit in the car park, I just don’t go. My wife, who loves shopping (except for groceries), buys all my clothes and anything else I need I get online. The shopping mall is a good place for street photography though and I really like this image.
