Please tell Mrs BP that. WE have thousands at home. I needed a separate removal van getting that lot from LOndon to Wales.

I have tried to burn them all but it don't work.

I've been there once.


I did however buy a footstool type thing that's quite unusual and well made. Overall though, I would rather poke my own eyes out with a pencil than visit there again.

You went at the wrong time -

Never go at weekends

Never go in kids' school holidays

Make sure you have an idea of what you want by looking online and in their catalogue

Don't worry about parking near the entrance if you can carry the stuff you brought

Oh and bring your own bags.

They have some nice cheap things and some crappy cheap things. Problem is, the tulipey stuff is always there but they change the more upmarket stock very frequently. I was there once and a guy was trying to get a replacement cupboard door for a kitchen he'd bought 6 months previous, only the range had been discontinued and no spares could be had .....

I went in 1991. We bought a black ash dining table and chairs.

Black ash. Blast from the past there

IKEA produce a lot of excellent stuff, and a lot of tulipe as well.

Nowadays you can pay someone to build it for you.

Its actually fun annoying them as I'm usually faster at it than they are....

Shame your missus is sat on him.

A pity really you didn't buy something. You would have spent 3 days putting it together. We could do with a break from you.
