Primani

Primani…. a place where women revert to their primeval instincts.
In Primark anything goes, it’s like another world, a modern day journey to the heart of darkness.

Pedestrian Rage

Dear Ambling Pedestrians,
Why is it certain people don’t understand the meaning of haste? When I’m walking through town I generally have a goal of where I need to go. To a meeting, work, home, to catch a bus. It makes life far simpler if you know where you’re going when you head out of [...]

Unsurprisingly, they gave me a refund…
