    I'm seriously tempted to go at 3am for the experience. It's not an emergency but who couldn't use some new socks and jocks?

    Throw clothes you don't want on the ground.

    No just put them in the carry bags provided and walk out as pride as punch like Cash did.... Still shocked she got out with over €300 worth of gear out of penny's, thought you would need 7 kids in tow.....

    Funnily enough got stopped while out walking the dog this morning by a woman I’d pass each day & on small greeting terms with. She said to me “Did you see the news?” I hadn’t at that point & first thoughts were had something big happened overnight or has someone died “Penny’s, big crowds outside it a 4.30 this morning, no social distancing & a lot not wearing masks”.

    I think the idea of slagging someone for what they're wearing went out the window when lads started showing off their ankles wearing pants tight enough to kill off future offspring.

    Shouldn't "Pennys" be called "Cents"?

    Really? its right here in this article, and plenty of anecdotal evidence... you can slag irish men about their clothes without being classist apparently....but not women..

    Thats because the clothes they do for women are brilliant. And brilliantly cheap.

    My OH is of the foreign variety, and she loves Penney's. Gets loads of stuff there and it looks great on her. When her mother comes to visit, it's all about getting out to Penney's to load up on clothes..

    For Lads, its jeans/trousers/t-shirts/shirts & jumpers.... and that's it. For the ladies, there's all kinds of everything..

    If more of the stuff they sold would fit me, I'd probably be wearing it.... they do good t-shirts, and good tracksuit pants for lounging around the house in.

    I know of some people who call it that.

    I was only having the trainers/runners debate last night actually.

    Used to call them runners up until about 18, now they are trainers. Pretty sure runners is only an Irish thing. Brother in law is English and didn't know what the fcuk i was talking about when i told them what some people all runners

    I always found that if you have mates who slag off your clothes then you have to:

    A. Tell them to **** off or shrug it off.

    or

    B. Find better friends.

    What are you on about, most lads for decades have slagged each other's clothes. Just sounds like you got the rough end of the stick and haven't properly recovered. That's twice I think you mentioned it now.

    Some people getting way too excited about clothes, seen a good few Snapchat and Instagram stories today of people in there mooching around

    Like, have ye anything to be doing? Don't see the appeal in shopping for the sake of it

    It's almost as if you can't shop online or something.

    Not for me but each to their own.

    Personally I absolutely detest shopping either online or in real life. Went into Arnotts with a good budget a few months back to spend on nice gear and within 5 minutes 3 seperate assistants had come up to me and asked if I needed help.

    I hate the feeling of being watched as I browse about so at that point I left the place and headed for Penneys where assistants leave you in peace.

    I much prefer good old fashioned Irish disdain from shop assistants myself.

    You can shop in LostStock if you want to directly support Bangladeshi families who's employment was disrupted due to covid.

    Finding friends is difficult. Putting up with it or just not wearing Penneys clothes is better than being alone.
