Gimme gimme gimme, don't ask what for
In America it's called TJ Maxx... I notice they went all creative and scooted down the alphabet a bit over here. It is, in fact, a lot like Primark in that it's a big heaping mess with lots of cheap crap, but you can apparently find some brand names there. I could never find anything I liked in the store, but the women in my family liked to go in and grab cheap stuff to mix and match.
As for why it is called what it's called, its probably because they're crazy, man, out there cutting prices to the MAXXX.

And so they should.....that's the way to get local people into jobs.

er, how so?

Surely better for the jobs to go to unemployed local people who go regularly go to the jobcentre (which is next door) and live in the local area, than to someone from miles away in north London who happens to have an internet connection at home and can search for the job online.er, how so?

Yes, I understand that, but someone in North London could still apply for the job and get it couldn't they (through looking through job centre job search machines).
As far as the dole office is concerned, anywhere within an hour's travel is classed as "local", so if someone in North London is looking for retail work, that could come up.
Job Centre threatened me with stopping my dole for not applying for local jobs. I told them I didn't consider Wandsworth as local

Yeah maybe.....I just think it's utter madness to force millions of people to travel all over London when there might be jobs available locally. When you're on a low wage, the last thing you want is to spend your hard-earned on tube tickets and spend half the day travelling. I used to earn £4 an hour and had to travel from east of Stratford all the way to Acton for the priviledge, and it was fcuking grinding.

Well hopefully TK Maxx have decided to employ locally. Would be nice

I wholeheartedley agree with your viewpoint
Cycled past about 8.50am and didn't think the queue looked that long - it went up Ferndale Rd but only to the three-way junction with Nursery Rd.
