Took 12 teenage girls to Liverpool for a weekend of culture, sight-seeing and, more importantly in their eyes, retail therapy!
On returning from their shopping expedition, I did a (v. un-scientific) survey of where they'd been - and, to a woman, all twelve had a Primark bag in tow....along with war stories from the changing room and till queues!
Peer pressure remains alive and well...with one group of four friends all sporting a bag from the teenage brand of the moment - Hollister.
Meawhile, I braved the sales in Next and Gap - big cuts, lots of people browsing but not much till action....took one look at Primark and fled - the massive four storey outlet in Liverpool is surely the modern definition of Dante's circles of hell!
