I actually don't mind peacocks, I don't buy clothes with labels from posh shops 'just for the label' I buy what I like. Sad to hear they're going. There's soon going to be no shops open where I live, so many have already closed down.

I agree! I haven't bought anything from the High Street or a town center over the last year and the thousands I spent this Christmas just gone was done online. Better prices, delivery to my door, I can shop in comfort. I can't see the high street or town centers surviving, they don't have the volumes of stock or choice and things cost more. I've been shopping online for 15 years now but in recent years I shop totally online. I even get my cat food cheaper (and in bulk) from Amazon, town prices cannot compete. Even 30Kg bags of cat litter come from the internet (I buy 2 a month) I refuse to pay to park in car parks as I already pay council tax and every other tax that we are forced to pay, yet cities expect me to pay a fortune to spend a couple of hours walking around over-priced shops with chavs on every street hanging about? No thanks, its internet all the way for me

I tried doing my main Christmas shopping online a couple of years ago, and found that I'd order things which seemed to be in stock, only to find that after waiting a couple of weeks later, when it was too late to try somewhere else, I'd get an email telling me that it was no longer available. And with delivery charges £4 or more, you have to plan where you shop carefully - I'm probably shopping slightly less online than I used to, rather than more.

I agree about councils and carparking charges though - ours went up sharply a couple of years ago, and it does make me think twice about popping into town.

I remember Peacocks from the 1970s, when it was the only clothes shop in the Welsh town where I grew up, and it was painfully bad. (The only thing worse was the Marshall Ward catalogue my mum used to shop from.) But I've bought bits and pieces there for my kids in the last few years, and its a good place to go when you need something cheap.

I've had some nice stuff from peacocks over the years, even better when I got my friends and family discount from a friend :T This year's winter range I thought had really gone down in quality though. And found Bon Marche had more of the better quality stuff.

I will be sad to see it go, and extremely sad for all who lose their jobs
