Peacocks launches huge clearance sale ahead of closing much-loved shop
PEACOCKS has launched a huge clearance sale ahead of one of its much-loved shops shutting its doors. The branch in Northfield, Birmingham, has items on sale with an extra 30 per cent discount on top, a shopper has claimed. 3 3 3 The shopper took to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook page to share the unbelievable shop discovery. She said: "Peacocks in Northfield is now a clearance shop, everything is SALE an addition 30% sale prices! "I got tops for £2.10 black ankle boots for £3.50! "Jeans that was £25 for £8.40! And loads more they had loads of stock. "Run don't walk." Facebook users shared their excitement on the sale - but their sadness on the shop closure. One shopper said: "Why are all the shops closing in Northfield?" And tagging a pal, one commenter asked: "Fancy an hour out in Northfield tomorrow?" In July last year Peacocks announced they would be strategically closing stores as they launched a new website. Poundland to be sold for JUST £1 as frontrunner for shock takeover is revealed after wave of store closures The fashion retailer revealed an annual turnover of £238million for the year to February 2023, with £14.65million in profits for the same period. Peacocks was originally bought out of administration in 2021, saving 2,000 jobs. The brand was saved by investors led by Edinburgh Woollen Mill's chief operating officer Steve Simpson. It comes as closures have rocked high streets across the UK in recent years. Devastated shoppers cried "what a tragedy" as a beloved shop of 33 years is set to pull down the shutters for good. Why the high street still rules! Fabulous' Fashion Director, Tracey Lea Sayer shares her thoughts. I WAS 10 when I first discovered the utter joy of high-street shopping for clothes with my mum and nan. Going into town on Saturday became a family tradition – a girls' day out we would look forward to all week. My mum's favourite shop was M&S, where she would gaze at jackets with big shoulder pads and floral sundresses, while my nan would make a beeline for John Lewis and their classic coats and elegant court shoes. I was all over Tammy Girl – Etam's little sister – and Chelsea Girl, which was later rebranded to high-street fave River Island. I would spend hours in the changing rooms, watched keenly by my two cheerleaders, who gave the thumbs up – or thumbs down – on what I was trying on. Frilly ra-ra skirts, duster coats, polka dot leggings, puff balls, boob tubes… I tried them all, often making my nan howl with laughter. Fashion wasn't so fast back in the 1980s and every item was cherished and worn until it fell apart – literally – at the seams. At 18, I went to art college and my tastes became more refined. Extra cash from a part-time job in a bar meant I could move on to slightly more expensive stores, like Warehouse, Miss Selfridge and the mecca that was Topshop. I knew at this point I wanted to work in fashion because the high street had totally seduced me. One day, I wrote an article for a competition in a glossy mag about my love of retail therapy and my favourite LBD – and I won! That led me to where I am today – Fashion Director of Fabulous. It's not just me that loves the high street – big-name designers are fans, too. When Cool Britannia hit in the '90s, they all turned up in one big store. Designers at Debenhams was a stroke of genius by Debenhams CEO Belinda Earl, designer Ben de Lisi and fashion director Spencer Hawken, who introduced diffusion ranges from John Rocha, Matthew Williamson and Betty Jackson, to name a few. This meant we could all afford a bit of luxury and wear a well-known designer's signature style. Years later, I hosted a night with Debenhams and Fabulous for 250 readers, who were in awe meeting all the designers. It was a real career highlight for me. In 2004, H&M started rolling out their international designer collabs. Karl Lagerfeld was first, followed by Roberto Cavalli, Marni, Stella McCartney, Maison Martin Margiela, Sonia Rykiel, Comme des Garçons, Balmain, Versace and many, many more. I could barely contain myself! Then in 2007, Kate Moss launched her first collection with Topshop, with thousands queuing along London's Oxford Street. I remember sitting behind Ms Moss and Topshop boss Philip Green at a London Fashion Week Topshop Unique catwalk show. I had my three-year-old daughter, Frankie, in tow and we both made the news the next day after we were papped behind Kate, my supermodel girl crush. At the time, the high street was on fire. Who needed designer buys when Mango stocked tin foil trousers just like the designer Isabel Marant ones and you could buy a bit of Barbara Hulanicki's legendary brand Biba from Topshop? High street stores even started to storm London Fashion week. Although Topshop Unique had shown collections since 2001, in 2013 River Island showed its first collection in collaboration with global superstar Rihanna, who was flown in by a friend of mine on a private jet. KER-CHING! A whole new generation of high profile high street collabs followed. Beyoncé created Ivy Park with Topshop's Philip Green and I even flew to LA for Fabulous to shoot the Kardashian sisters in their bodycon 'Kollection' for Dorothy Perkins. I am pleased to say they were the absolute dream cover stars. Fast forward to 2024 and while the high street doesn't look exactly like it did pre-Covid, it has made a gallant comeback. Stores like M&S, Reserved and Zara, and designer collabs like Victoria Beckham X Mango and Rochelle Humes for Next are giving me all the feels. The supermarkets have really come into their own, too, smashing it with gorgeous collections that look expensive, but at prices that still allow us to afford the weekly shop. The last 30 years of high street fashion have been one big adventure for me. Bring on the next 30!

Ex-Northfield teacher sent nude photos to students and SRO covered it up, charges say
A former Northfield Middle School teacher is accused of sending sexual photos of herself to high school students, and a former school resource officer is accused of covering up the incidents. The two were charged in Rice County on Thursday. Charging documents say a student came forward in December to report that Katie Hanson, 37, was sending photos via Snapchat, and she had some of the photos on her phone. The student noted that she knew a report had been made in March 2024 with Gabriel Crombie, 33, who was a school resource officer at the time. The student estimated that Hanson was communicating with a dozen boys, charges say. An officer interviewed one of the boys, who said he had received photos from Hanson for about a week. The boy believed some of the photos were taken from inside the school building. At one point in the conversation, Hanson had invited him over to her home, which he declined, documents say. The boy also noted he told Crombie about the incident in March of 2024, according to the charges. Charges say that Northfield police could not find Crombie's documentation of the reports. In a post-Miranda interview, Hanson said she sent nude photos to several boys, documents say. Some of the boys sent photos back, she said. Documents say that she knew she interacted with "a few" boys, the youngest of whom was in eighth grade. Hanson went on to say that she stopped when she started dating Crombie. That relationship developed when Crombie approached her on April 25, 2024 about a report made by a teacher. Charges say Hanson told Crombie "everything," and Crombie responded that he was going to "do her a favor" and "let the case go." Officers then interviewed Crombie, who had recently left Northfield police for another agency. Crombie said he "cornered" two students about the Snapchats, but they denied having any proof. According to the charges, Crombie said he did not create a report because he had hundreds of small reports every single day. He admitted to interviewing Hanson, who he said denied that any of the images or chats were saved. When officers interviewed the two students Crombie spoke to, documents say one of them said he pulled out a copy of the nude images to show Crombie. One of the boys then told police that Crombie took approximately five to six photographs on his cell phone and told him he could delete the images. Police drafted a search warrant for Hanson's phone and found Snapchat images and chats. According to Northfield schools, Hanson is no longer a teacher in the district. She was placed on administrative leave on Dec. 9, 2024 and resigned on Dec. 11, 2024. "I recognize that circumstances like these can cause anger and diminish trust," said Superintendent Matt Hillmann. "I share your anger. While we cannot account for all adverse human behavior, we continue to be vigilant in safeguarding our students." Hanson is charged with two felony counts of sending sexually explicit electronic communications to a minor. Crombie is charged with a felony count of aiding an offender and a gross misdemeanor count of misconduct.
