Ikea

[Goodison87]

If I’m shopping with the Mrs I like to just get off and go outside and wait or do something remotely interesting, even stretch to a quick pint.

I remember going to the Warrington one years ago (never been again and never will) and I said I’ll get off for some fresh air and I was stuck on a loop track that seemed to take about half hour to get out, even at that daft speed walking rate. Trapped I was, never again.

And another half dozen cushions, to go with other two dozen cushions already in the house.

We’ve got so many scatter cushions on our suite it’s like going into a ball pit.

Might as well rename this site Dadsnet

Used to have one in Coventry city centre. The restaurant offered lovely meatball based meals and a birds eye view of the utterly monstrous City Centre. Lovely.

Ikea decided to shut it. So now it means a trip to the Wednesbury one, which is subhuman.

I used to love visiting Wednesbury one but you need a car being as its by the M5/M6?

I hope it goes into receivership and all of its outlets spontaneously combust

You need an armoured car as it is in Wednesbury, that is correct Susan.

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 .

I remember reading a story about someone changing the arrows in store and sending patrons on an endless loop. but who would notice anyway?

As a swedophile I love IKEA so does Mrs Hawtrey. Famously a friend told me their furniture wasn't built to last, I replied - neither was I!!! Carry on up the IKEA!

We went once - nice meatballs & 4 hours later - one item order online it far faster ....

One glorious day in early 2022 I went to three in the same day. Mrs, very pregnant with nipper number 2, decided that we needed a new chest of drawers/changing table for the impending arrival of the new spare pair of kidneys. This one, apparently, was not going to have to suffer the indignity of having his arse wiped on a plastic changing table next to the upstairs bog and Lord knows I ain't got the fight in me any more to argue, not least with a hormonal heavily pregnant Mrs.

Nesrest IKEA that had it was Wembley. Drove half way around the M25 and when I got there was told they had 3 of the 4 packs that made up the item but not the 4th. Told the Tottenham store had the 4th - the changing table bit. Onto the North Circular then to Tottenham. Get there - they ain't got it but tell me the Lakeside store has it. Back round the M25 to Thurrock and finally find the last bit. 4.5 hour round trip, get home and... spend the next 3 hours putting the bloody thing together.

Never again.

I use it as a speed walking exercise. It’s about 3 miles from start to finish, the goal is to get in and out as fast as possible. Hate the place. My Mrs walks round as slowly as possible, contemplated suicide in there on many occasions. That’s why they put the knives towards the end. If they were in the middle there would be all kinds of bloodshed going on in there.
