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.

    • That's a disgusting slur against an innocent driver who was probably just on their way to drop off freshly-baked muffins at an orphanage when they had to swerve out of the way of a so-called "cyclist", and anyway traffic lights are just a Marxist conspiracy by Southwark Council to slow traffic down and force people out of cars, so we're all better off without it.
    • Frothy coffee? Not really my bag. A double espresso and a Marlboro Red? It's the breakfast of champions. The only dark drink with a creamy head which should ever be drunk by a man of my age is Guinness. I've also become lactose intolerant recently, meaning I get very impatient around milk. You make a fair point, but those legal channels are available for them to recover their repair, and legal, costs and, as I said: "It's up to them if they [Southwark] want to do that, of course." There's three or four grands worth of Cat N write-off, wrapped round a post there (more, if it's broken down for parts) causing problems. If they can't be arsed sorting that, I'm not holding my breath. Even Southwark couldn't screw their numbers up enough to make shifting the post back through circa 15 degrees more than a couple of grand, so there's a drink in it for everyone. It's a bit 'leany' just now, yeah, but I haven't noticed anyone having to limbo under it to get to Superdrugs. Or, they could make a feature of it. Pisa has made a fortune out of not sorting the underpinnings of their tower. Let's say it's an installation by someone called, I don't know, Bangsy, and it's a physical reminder that SE22 cannot deny its proximity to Peckham, Camberwell & Brixton. It's about the only thing that would get me back into The Bishop since the many dark afternoons of the soul I spent with Clarence*, the world's most depressed Weimaraner. *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.   Come on Spartacus, don't be shy. You know exactly where the Green Cross Code Man was in 1973: less than a hundred yards away, on North Cross Road. https://youtu.be/C-XwVVMiCO4?si=rt8kQllev0t1Lgdi For some years, I found it quite difficult to go into The Forrester's after many long afternoons of the soul with Dave Prowse* (The Green Cross Code Man). *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.  
    • Loving the arm chair speculation on here  Blimey how long before this gets spun out to be a drug dealer welding a sawn off whilst driving away from a smash and grab at the coop cash machine flipped his car and landed on a bollard type post  Where's the green cross code man when you need him ?
