Known as
Penneys branched into the UK in 1973 with its first store opening in Derby. The UK now has 191 Primark stores in total.

Primark went Stateside for the first time in September 2015, with the opening of a store in Boston. There are now 27 stores in America with branches in Florida, Brooklyn, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

American tries Irish breakfast and says 'don't hate me' as it doesn't go to plan
Kicking off the day with a hearty full Irish breakfast at a cafe is the dream for many and an American couple on their travels in Ireland were eager to see what all the hype was about. Joey and Lauren, who run a YouTube channel, have been exploring the Emerald Isle, taking in sights across Cork, Galway, and Dublin. It was in Dublin that they sampled their first-ever full Irish – although not every component was to their taste. Before diving into their critique, Joey had a word of caution for the Irish audience, pleading for understanding. "Please don't take it as a diss," he implored. "On one of the videos the other day, one of us said something about the food being a bit gross and we use that word very loosely in America. "But oh my God, some people took it really bad and they took it that we were insulting the country. Guys, trust me, we love Ireland." With that disclaimer out of the way, let's delve into how the duo found their straightforward breakfast at Fair Play Cafe on York Road in Dublin. Certainly a sight to behold (Image: youtube/@joeyandlauren) Their order included two servings of the traditional Irish breakfast, complete with two sausages, two rashers, black pudding, white pudding, beans, fried eggs, and two slices of toast. Priced at €8.95 each, Joey remarked: "Cheap, good price. Could be called Fair Price Cafe but it is called Fair Play Cafe so fair play them, glad to say we did that." Tucking into their breakfast, both were full of praise for the eggs and beans, with the sausages earning special commendation. Lauren enthused: "I will say I really like the sausages here. It tastes way different but I really like the taste of it, it tastes good." Yet, despite enjoying the start of the meal, Lauren wasn't taken with the white pudding and approached the black pudding with trepidation. She expressed her apprehension: "Oh my God. I'm actually scared. I am going to get my napkin ready. I don't know if I am over reacting or if I am going to like it so ..." Joey was full of praise for the baked beans (Image: youtube/@joeyandlauren) After a few cautious bites, Lauren couldn't swallow the black pudding, prompting Joey to inquire: "Is it the taste or just how you picture it?" Having researched black pudding's origins earlier, Lauren responded: "It tastes like white pudding but slightly different but I don't like the taste. I actually chewed it. Don't hate me, don't hate me." She continued: "I am probably being a bit more dramatic but I did not like the taste. It wasn't bad but I wouldn't eat it again. I thought the white pudding was better." Joey concurred: "Same here, I mean, I'm not going to be finishing that to be honest but I could eat it." The rest of the meal, including the Irish butter and bacon, was a hit, and overall, the breakfast met their expectations – except for the puddings. The couple strolling along beside the Liffey (Image: youtube/@joeyandlauren) Wrapping up their experience, Joey remarked: "Customer service was great, they were super nice in there, it was a really nice place. "We are sorry we didn't like the black or white pudding but I guess I could see if you grew up eating it you wouldn't pay attention to what it is made of. Obviously we just couldn't get past that fact." He further stated: "I am glad we tried it though. I didn't want to go away having a full Irish breakfast and not going the full length."
