Poundland today announced that it will be taking over eight ex-Peacocks stores
The stores include the former Peacocks premises in Harringay Arena and will open on Thursday 5 April.
In a sign 'o' the times comment, Poundland’s CEO, Jim McCarthy, said:
Poundland has grown significantly over the past 12 months and we will continue to open new stores.

I've just been taken to task on my 'snobbery' on this post on Twitter. Sort of a fair cop(ish):

Where is Percy Ingle in Harringay? I love a bit of Percy Ingle....
While some folks' ideal replacement shop might be a branch of Harrods, I personally welcome Poundland – its in my price bracket.
As a parent, I like Poundland. It fills the big hole that the closure of Woolworths created for paper and craft materials. I do hope that those who lost their jobs when Peacocks closed will be able to get new ones when Poundland opens. This is an area that needs local job ops.
Have you ever wondered how the prices are kept low ?
Yes because everything costs £1 even though you can buy them for 50p elsewhere!
At least its not a betting shop or a pay day loan shark shop. Now they are rip-off outfits.
