I'd say "arts and craft store", it's common here, I've never heard "stationary store" in my area

@anapeixoto I have found that word in an American text so maybe it is rather an American word than a British one

@Alexandere But I prefer British so I was curious whether the word also exists in this variant of English

Natürlich

we don't really say craft store in the UK. We don't say "store" at all really. over here it's called a "shop". store is an American term. I'd say that; I bought it at the art and crafts shop. or I'd just say the name of the shop.

Yeah, shop is better, I just didn't want to be too pedantic about the use of "store"

@Alexandere I do not think that all European prefer British. Almost all of my classmates prefer American because as they say it is easier but I think that maybe it is easier but also more ugly

@anapeixoto Shouldn't you use Past Perfect tense? How long had you lived in the UK for? Now that is me who is a bit pedantic

@Zamiarek I didn't learn the grammar rules, I grew up like this and it sounds more natural and easy for me to say "did" but I'll look into it

@Zamiarek I asked some people and they all said they would use 'did'. I'm not sure which is correct but I think they both are. however, even if "did" is not correct, in languages, some grammar rules have to be broken to avoid you sounding like a textbook :) "how long had" in my opinion sounds too breathy, and not as easy to say

@Zamiarek I feel institutionally , all European countries follow The School of England ( British English ) . While I do understand that American English is gaining widespread popularity nowdays . And so , if you wanna use American English , you can stick to "Stationary Store "
