Since I've moved back to E Dulwich I've decided that I want to do everything locally, including working. So I'm planning to give up my job in the City and open an origami paper shop on Lordship Lane. I think I will call it 'Dulwich Origami'. I'm quite good at folding a wrap for storing small items when I'm out and about so I can guess it can't be too hard to learn some other folds/shapes and then run some origami classes from the shop. I just wondering what the level of local interest might be in origami?

Well I had a couple of enquiries re: renting a room out, but my wife wasn't keen on the idea when I told her. Someone sent me a PM with good advice on how to 'unsalt' halloumi. I'm still waiting for a recommendation for servicing the Merc though - hopefully someone will know a good garage.

What happened to Bob?

Tears was actually meant to be read like 'stairs' rather than 'steers'...

I think I will call it 'Dulwich Origami'


Great idea Bob, but some work needed on that name. Here are some suggestions to get you started, with some possible USP's for your business:


- Origami hand-folded by Buddhist monks: Paperchaste


- Exotic sweets with origami wrappers: Nippon Tuck


- Japanese emporium in Peckham: SamuRye


- or your original Lordship Lane origami shop idea: Crease Dulwich


Hope that's helpful x

One letter missing --


'Dulwich OrigaSmi' --


this version should increase footfall.

Thank you - I quite like 'Crease Dulwich' as that conveys the sense of what I want to do and also captures the local zeitgeist. I've been walking up and down Lordship Lane today looking for a suitable property - I couldn't see anything - but what about North Cross Road? Would anyone go there for an origami shop?

you will all be pleased to know that I finally realised BB is a nuisance with nothing better to do than post idiotic nonsense and meaningless rhetoric. its tiresome?! no wonder normal residents refrain from posting if this is the standard, which needs raising, methinks. It isn't even funny.

I am a normal resident with views and opinions I like to express and share.

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
