3,000 Primark fans had been confused
They started lining up at 2am on the 4th of April in London (Oxford Street), waiting for new Primark store opening, cause they had been told that all prices will be 1 pound per item. At the morning 50 security stuff tried to keep control, but soon called the police for help. Costumers were pushing each other out of the way to get to the front, but the cheapest dresses were as little as for 6 pounds and tops for 4 pounds. Seems, it was just a joke to get people in.
Primark spokesman Geoff Lancaster reports that the firm promised price cuts were completely untrue.
