Peacocks was one of the Welsh success stories

When I was a student in Wales the local Peacocks was a favourite shop..
incredibly cheap.

Was it a particularly Welsh thing? I've certainly seen them in the NW. I
have 1 solitary pair of Peacocks knickers (plain, cotton, navy-ish blue).
Although they may have been lost to the great 'throw the tatty knickers
away' drawer (hoho) clearout last year.
