Absolutely. I would never have know about this before. Now I do, and my opinion of that place has changed, however slightly for the worse. It's a shame, but at least it has stopped me (and perhaps others) from making an icon out of what is, essentially, a traditional greengrocer's shop. Funny how in this day and age something your mum would have taken for granted (and perhaps even have sniffed at once she'd got a bit of money in her purse and an eye on the formica for her kitchen) is lionised by some of us.

Thank you Ultraconsultancy . I have a weakness for all types of nuts and have found a Turkish shop in Penge that normally has a sack load of walnuts that is self-service .Unfortunately , they also have very nice cakes and pizzas , which means that my I put on half a stone per visit:)

Coming rather late, on this, while I am sorry to hear that anyone has had bad service from any ED independent shop, I have to say that having shopped at Pretty Traditional for ten years I have had excellent, friendly service, marvelous produce and can not speak too highly of the shop's owners and staff.


I have to say that the evidence that this is a case of discrimination on grounds of disability is at the very least, thin. The shop has employed at least one disabled member of staff. If anyone can give me an example of any shop which has never supplied a unsatisfactory product, I'd really like to know about it.


Again, I am sorry to hear of your bad experience but I would be even more sorry if people who had never used this shop decided not to find what it was like for themselves.

    • Who was Diana Rayworth, when 'resting from acting'. Her successful career was very sadly cut short following a devastating accident. 
    • thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street... 
    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.
