Since I've received my fountain pen I can't stop writing on my Rhodia notepad brought from France; so that I'll need to restock soon. However, once the Rhodia products cross the Channel, their price double up, it's crazy...
I'm looking for some kind of cheaper local replacement made of the same quality paper (80g/m2 papier surfin), but it's somehow impossible to find something matching either in supermarkets/shops (Asda, Wilko) or stationeries. In France, we have some Rhodia copies made for supermarket chains that are as good as the originals (paper come probably from the same factories) sold at ridiculous prices.
I found some refill pads (WHSmith, Silvine) but paper is not as smooth as Rhodia's. As a pupil in the 80s I used some Oxford exercise books that were as good as the local Clairefontaine's (Clairefontaine is the top) and were slightly cheaper in addition. So there must be some local British brands.
Where to buy some notepads with this smooth paper (like the Rhodia's) online or London? At a decent price?
Of course, my ultimate solution is to go to some posh Londoner stationery in some posh borough and pay at least 3 times the normal price...
