Anyone thinking of visiting IKEA? If so, I'd recommend taking some sandwiches and a flask. Maybe a sleeping bag too. We followed the signage the other day, trying to find our way to the toilet, and ended up back where we started several times before we had to ask a member of staff how to get out. I swear I saw Lord Lucan browsing in the kitchen storage area. And don't get me started on how to operate the self service drinks machines ffs. Anyway, we got what we went for eventually. Rant over 🤣 .
 


Can't beat the Meatballs! My annoyance with them though is their insistence on using Edison cap fittings on their light fixtures and EU wiring instead of a UK Standard.

Keep your eye out for the silver/grey double doors. Usually say Staff Only but these are shortcuts through the store.

PS. The Toilets are at the start before you go and get lost.

Reminds me of a mate of my wife who is getting on a bit, she was complaining about ‘Alexa’ her daughter had bought her but she said it didn’t work for her and wouldn’t play anything when she asked it to, my wife said go on ask it to play something——she said “ IKEA play Yesterday by the Beatles” my wife said no wonder it won’t play for you it’s Alexa not bleedin’ IKEA”!

The first rule of IKEA as a man, is never ever go in.

It`s a place of evil and not intended for men to shop there.

Stay in the car, put the footy on, wind the seat down and enjoy the respite.
 
I went to one 20 years ago, near Bristol. Took me 20 minutes to find a parking spot, 2 minutes in the store to decide i wanted to get out and around 40 minutes finding the exit, including stopping a couple of times to raise my arms and shout "where is the effing exit?."

Never been near one since. Wild horses etc.
