WE may have to go without a Primark fix for a whole month - but once the second lockdown lifts, we might have something even better to look forward to.

Chief Executive George Weston said: "If we are able to trade in some stores up to 24 hours a day, then we can keep people more separate from each other more easily.

"We can keep the stores safer if everyone knows there are plenty trading hours and they do not have to rush on a Sunday into a six-hour period."

After being shut for 12 weeks earlier this year, Primark said the lockdown caused a loss of around £650million worth of sales a month.

Needless to say, superfans on Facebook were delighted by the prospect of getting their Primark fix 24/7.
