I don't want to see LL ending up like any other boring high street with bookies, pound shops and fast food joints and nothing else. I know many on here would be glad to see the back of the 'tat shops' but I like the independent boutiques and veg shops.

Let's hope the space becomes something useful yet stylish (slightly tongue in cheek that last comment).

I've lived in ED for eight years and have never been into the Ralon stationers - does not everyone get their stationery for work???

I'm not sure we need anything else on the lane, maybe another fried chicken shop, I went into one of those on New Years Day and gosh it hit the spot, grease everywhere, very nice, first time i've been in that one in eight years too but now I have got the taste for it I intend making regular trips, although I did find myself going in there hoping noone would recognise me, as if it was a guilty pleasure.

Anyway I guess the space is too small for M&S, so what about an Agent selling Estate Agents shops, that would be ironic.

Mick Mac - could you supply all of us with stationery?? :)


Not all of us work with free stationery on offer at our workplace, or maybe don't work but still need bits and bobs.

While not a fan of Raylon (haven't had problems with them but always seems a strange atmosphere there) think what they offer can be useful.

He's always been very pleasant to me, and so has everybody else in the shop.


I will be sorry to see it go, personally - it's been really useful to have a stationers within walking distance.

I agree. It is not a WHS-type place but a proper stationer's/art stationer's, a bit like the one in the Village, and I think the last one in LL/NCR? It is hard to see what could take over the premises that is not already available at several other shops around ED, so in that sense LL is going to lose some of its character.

550k was for a lease not freehold. The other shop under offer will apparently be a barbers shop.

Actually, changed my mind. I'd go further and say take your Wimpy bar and put it up your bottom as far as throat level.

Right now, Nando's take-away, late night.

And local delivery.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
