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.

And in 2006, the expansion into Europe began with an opening in Spain, followed by the Netherlands, Portugal, Germany, Belgium, Austria, France and Italy. 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.

I create rollercoasters at the UK's top theme park – I know the best place to sit on the popular rides
HAVE you ever really thought about where the best place is to sit on a rollercoaster? Well, one ride expert, who is called 'Britain's Rollercoaster King' has revealed where exactly you should sit on a ride to get the ultimate experience at 4 Anyone riding Nemesis should take a seat at the front for the most thrills Credit: Alamy 4 John is the brains behind topspin rollercoaster, the Toxicator Credit: Alton Towers John Burton, aka Britain's Rollercoaster King, is the mastermind behind some of the biggest rides in Alton Towers. As the Senior Creative Lead, John has made the likes of Nemesis Reborn, Toxicator and John says that where you sit on a ride can dramatically affect the ride experience. He explained: 'On coasters like Wicker Man, sit at the back for stronger airtime and a more intense pull over the hills. Read More on Attractions "For cinematic rides like Nemesis Reborn, go front row to get the full view and immersive story.' Once you've chosen where to sit, John added that it's crucial to never shut your eyes. He explained: 'By doing that you're missing half the experience - all the incredible theming, the storytelling, and the artistry that is built into every ride. 'People think it helps calm their nerves, but it actually makes the whole experience worse. Most read in Family "You lose all visual context, your brain can't process what's coming, which amplifies the fear.' It's not just individual rides that John has handy tips on, he also has a way to beat queuing at the park. I was the first to ride Alton Towers' newest ride Toxicator - it was a topsy-turvy spinning explosion 4 On Wicker Man, John said to sit at the back Credit: Alamy The classic mistake that John said everyone makes is heading straight to biggest rollercoasters with the most recognisable names at the front of the park. Instead, go to the back of the theme park first and work your way forwards. By doing this, John explained that you will "beat the queues and get more rides in.' For particular rides like the Nemesis Reborn, there's a particular way to avoid lightheadedness. It's a technique used by fighter pilots which is to tense your calves and core - these are said to reduce blackout sensations. Another ride that John knows all about is the new attraction for 2025, the The topspin ride has people seated back-to-back before being flipped around and held face down over a "pool of toxic alien acid". And here's what Vaz revealed described the ride as "an intense assault on the senses as you are whirled round and round before being dragged back and flung forwards again." The ride is part of the theme park's Forbidden Valley and is next to Nemesis Reborn which was revamped last year. Dramatic green-lit water fountains on both sides of the ride shoot up around the attraction to represent toxic terror. And here's more about the 4 John Burton is the creative mind behind the Toxicator and Nemesis Reborn Credit: Alton Towers

How the Cotswolds is turning into the English Hollywood – my top places to visit away from the crowds
WHILE the Cotswolds is hardly a hidden gem, it seems interest in the beautiful county is booming with the rich and famous further afield.

Local Plum Sykes told Radio 4 the influx of Americans is because of the "English fantasy of the countryside'. Read more on Cotswolds She cited the famously exclusive Estelle Manor, saying it is "like the Beverley Hills Hotel on a Cotswolds hill." Not only that, but there is the famous Soho Farmhouse and of course Cotswolds Airport allowing direct access by private jet or helicopter. But Most read in News Travel New bans being introduced on coached in a bid to protect the locals, with one local saying: "Bibury is not built in any way for these large coaches - we are a real victim of over tourism and we are becoming the collateral damage and that is not right." But there are some fantastic places you can go where you won't find massive crowds and you won't annoy the locals. Clarkson's Farm fan wins £5million Cotswolds mega mansion right next door to Jeremy Clarkson... & can't believe his luck So here are my favourite spots that have all of that fairytale charm - but without too many people around. Witney As my hometown, I'd be remiss to not talk about the town of Witney. It is often overlooked, despite having a quaint market town centre made up of the famous Cotswolds stone. There is the Blue Boar Hotel, right in the middle of town with cosy rooms overlooking the square. The town is also known for it's amazing independent shops, including Lily's Attics and Witney Antiques for homeware. And a piece of cake from Hunters Cake Company followed by a stuffed baguette from Sandwich de Witney is a must too. Cogges Manor Farm is great for little ones, with live animal feeding including pygmy goats and Shetland ponies, or you can learn about the town's blanket making history at Witney Museum. Otherwise hop on the many buses that go to Oxford, taking around 30 minutes. 7 Witney can't be missed but a lot of people overlook it Credit: Alamy Minster Lovell While there is little to do at Minster Lovell, it is a quintessential village with thatched roof cottages lining the cobbled paths. You'll spot the locals playing at the Minster Lovell Halls ruins (built by one of the richest men in Britain at the time,) with picnics and ball games along the river. There are just two pubs nearby, with the Old Swan serving up classic gastro pub food. Make sure to stay there too - its also a five-star hotel. Otherwise there is The White Hart, a family run pub dating back to the 15th century. 7 The ruins of Minster Lovell Hall are popular with locals Credit: Alamy Burford The small town of Burford is one of my favourites, as you won't find many chain shops here. The hill is lined with retro sweet shops as well as amazing cafes for afternoon tea. Keep your scraps and head to the bottom of the road where you can feed the ducks on the river or have a game of pooh sticks. Want somewhere to stay? One of the fanciest is The Bull, said to have once hosted Lord Nelson. 7 You won't see many chain stores in Burford Credit: Alamy What celebs live in the Cotswolds? David and Victoria Beckham : Near Great Tew, close to Chipping Norton. Jeremy Clarkson : Near Chipping Norton, where he runs a farm shop and pub. Kate Moss : Near Sarsden and Little Faringdon, close to Lechlade. Hugh Grant : Near Swinbrook and Ampney Knowle, close to Cirencester. Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen : Siddington, near Cirencester, and Snowshill. Patrick Stewart : Near Lacock and Chipping Norton. Ben Kingsley : Near Tetbury and Chipping Norton. King Charles III and Queen Camilla : Highgrove House, near Tetbury. Princess Anne : Gatcombe Park, Minchinhampton. Zara and Mike Tindall : On the Gatcombe Estate. Kate Winslet : Church Westcote, near Stow-on-the-Wold. Damien Hirst : Toddington Manor. Elizabeth Hurley : Previously near Ampney Knowle, Cirencester, and Barnsley; now in the Forest of Dean. Richard Hammond : On the Gloucestershire border, near Ledbury. Jamie Dornan : Chalford, near Stroud. Jilly Cooper : Bisley. Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi : Recently sold Kitesbridge Farm, previously near Chipping Norton. Alex James : Owns a farm hosting a yearly festival. Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi : Near Blenheim Palace, on the edge of the Cotswolds. Woodstock While a lot of people visit Blenheim Palace - nearly a million a year, in fact - many might skip over the nearby town of Woodstock. But the quaint town is one to visit if you fancy a cosy pub on the river. My top pick is The Black Prince, where you can grab a pint and overlook the river on a sunny day.
