DIXONS, as familiar a sight to shoppers as the TV sets in the corners of their living rooms, has had its plug pulled. Its circuits fried, its batteries failed, its tube blown.

Lights will start going out soon in the illuminated fascias at 190 branches, though it is not known if the company took out extended warranties on the signs.

Dixons is survived by its internet arm; High Street branches will be renamed "Currys.digital", a development not expected to please Lynne Truss.

Born in 1937, Dixons' earliest days were spent at the seaside, in Southend, when fatherly Charles Kalms chose the name for his new offspring by picking the name from a telephone directory (it fitted above the door).
