close your eyes Jan............
Dark days for Britain`s High Streets.
Fashion Chain `Peacocks and the troubled gifts retailer `Past Times`are the latest victims risking 11,000 plus jobs.
The only Trade having a boom time under this Coalition Government is the insolvency industry.

Don't write off Peacocks so quickly Reg - things are looking up right now for them. I have it on good authority that talks are being had with a prospective new buyer.
Reg do cheer up dear, your postings are so depressing! Spring is coming, Summer too - happy days to look forward to and after all ........life is what you make it

There's always a little truth behind every "Just kidding", a little emotion behind every "I don't care" and a little pain behind every "I'm ok".

jacqui
i fully support your view of making the most of life.
that said today peacocks themselves have stated they are unlikely to find a buyer.
but if you have more info thats great news
of course if you have a life with no job, no money, and no prospects for the future
its very difficult to keep your chin up

I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

I suppose constructive, positive, ideas and not destructive opinions, are always needed and people have to have courage to change.

Of course I have Keith, and btw, my post was not about you personally at all, I wasn't even thinking of you - just a general observation. And I am comfortable with challenges, but require an upbeat, outcomes focussed, Can Do, blue sky thinking, robust and effective approach. Yes, I am joking.
