The first person said to use 2/3 teaspoons of cornstarch mixed into enough of the peach juice to make a paste and stir over heat then pour into peaches. Can I use plain flour if I haven't got cornstarch and what effect will it have in the pie?

Use arrowroot or cornstarch. It thickens better than plain flour.
If you use plain flour it leaves a pasty taste in the juice. You need to use cornstarch and make sure you cook this well and get out all the lumps.
If you use plain flour as a substitute for cornstarch, you'll need to use more flour than you would cornstarch. Typically, you'd double the amount. This will result in a thicker, heavier mixture and possibly may make the pie filling taste pasty.
