They were cordial to me, if a bit nervous and reserved, but had only white paper for photocopying, a little outdated

in my opine! Still, I was most happy to go to a local place and not be forced into chain-store 'options' where policy and profit prevails and service is almost non-existent. Seems these folks may be happy to move on from their shop daze- Best of Luck, Health, and Happiness, So Long! Gee, I hope we get another kitchen shop in its place- har-de-har har!! Could use some practical amenities in the 'hood, such as stationery- or is it become obsolete?

there was a thread on the forum about Ralon some time ago... there were dozens of post about people's dreadful experiences in the shop.. not with the staff but with the owner... I have often found him so rude and unhelpful (not only to customers but also to his staff) that I sworn will never enter the shop again... but as people have mentioned, it is useful to be able to pop in (rather than buy the odd small thing online). All the other people who work in our studio have similar horror stories about him... shop will be missed... he will not be missed (by many).

He was unusual. A man with standards. And the formalities of a bygone generation. I had a good chat with him once about macro economics and modern capitalist greed. Swiftly followed by one about the potential effect of my wet umbrella on 320 gram card stock.


He shall be missed.

I always found the owner perfectly friendly and helpful, as did my partner.


So was everyone else who worked there, in my experience.

    • Hello,  Does anyone know of a garage to rent in the East Dulwich area?  Best,  Anthony 
    • So glad to give support in any small way. It happens more often than you think. I live near a footpath anf once came home from holiday to find that someone had poured paint through the bottom of the fence which had run all down through my soil and on to my plants. It was a job trying to dig out all the contaminated soil and to this day I still find bits of paint in the soil. No idea who it was or why they would do such a thing.
    • Glad this is back on, looking forward to seeing you all tonight
