Bon Marche have not entered administration according to the BBC News.

Re: Peacocks Administrtion

Yup the high street is in decline unless you are in a big city, where I live it is the same with two pawn brokers, a chq cashing shop, plenty of charity shops and a couple of discount stores like the 99p kind that is it plus a tesco's.

Used to be very vibrant with many different specialist shops and was worth just going there to if nothing else have a look around.

All out of town now and that trend seems to continue.

Sorry that will be going to as it is part of Peacocks.

Oh my.... never realised they were part of Peacocks!!

There'll be nothing much left at all where I live then.....

WTF is going on?! All of these downward spiral changes are too much.... my little town will consist of pharmacies, mobile phone and charity shops... and pawn shops... and even porn shops (there are two!) S'pose the last one gives people something to do on a rainy day though....

Jokes aside though..... it's DEPRESSING!!

Di,

They are good fashionable and cheap, they took over the BHS store in pompey and have a very big range in there.

Not sure how big the Cardiff store is but being the capital of wales I would imagine large too.

Di,

Lets hope they can find a buyer, and talking about buyers pompey fc is cutting it very fine in finding another buyer.

I do hope so, that store was a godsend for me to use for my son, he is very particular with clothes and he has to come along with me each time, it will take some time him to get used to going elsewhere, he does not take well to changes.

Re: NEW - Moderator Chat Thread

Hi Di,

You think thats bad in South Wales, North Wales doesn't exist as far as the Assembly is concerned. Anything north of the Brecon Beacons, forget and if you chat to the guys and girls down in South West Wales say the other side of Swansea and they feel the same. Its al Cardif, Cardiff bloody Cardiff. Even the A470 improvement scheme only extends about as far as Llanidloes.

regards
Garlok

That is not nice of the Assembly is it!!

I note we us in Wales are not even on one of the weather maps either Garlok!
