I really liked Ralon and I always found the proprietor and all the staff very friendly and helpful. I'm sorry it's going. The guy is retiring. Probably glad to go if he sees that he is being called a Nazi on the East Dulwich Forum :-S

Can't believe the difference in price between ED and Forest Hill. Tempted to sell up and move to Forest Hill and have a happy time spending the proceeds :)) Oh but, er, memo to self, house still in horrible mess since builder catastrophe :))

Don't know what "point" you think I was "proving", what a strange thing to say, but it's obviously not helping find Andrew by discussing something his parents said, so fair enough, forget I ever posted it.

It was how they remembered him, if you look at the website which the link above goes to. Here's an extract: Andrew's parents, Glenys and Kevin, sent their own message to Andrew: "We have all missed you so much since the day you left. You were always so witty, polite, caring and intelligent that we desperately miss your company." If you don't think it strange that the second characteristic parents would choose to describe their fourteen year old son in a message to him asking him to come home is "polite", then fair enough. Personally I find it quite bizarre, but each to their own - and clearly they love him a lot.

Pretty Woman - Roy Orbison

I can't imagine what it must be like to have a child leave home in this way, but I do wonder that the second word his parents use to describe him (after "witty") is "polite". :-S

The first is not as early as six, hence I presume the empty tables. But obviously they need to keep tables for people who have booked for when they do arrive! Ganapati is very popular and it would be unusual if they had a free unbooked table, so you were lucky if you got one. Their prices and menu are on their website, so the cost need not come as a surprise. They are not as cheap as the Indian restaurants in Lordship Lane, but they are in a totally different league foodwise, and I think are excellent value for money. I am surprised you talked about an "obnoxious" waitress - we have always had excellent and friendly service at Ganapati.
