The problem with IKEA

Voltex

...is that its just too big. Myself and the missus started out there this morning full of beans..all excited...got off to a grand start...but by the time we were 75% through the store we were bored off our heads...so when it came to fetching the bits we wrote down on our sheet...we just couldnt be arsed...

has anyone else experienced this?

Yes I have. Also did you find the check outs are at one end and the exit is at the other? Physcology there I believe...

Most people know what it's all about and what's involved so I can't see a reason to complain about it. You know what you're getting into.

...the bit that confused me was the grocery shopping bit....like who says.."OK im off to IKEA to get a pound of sausages and Pamers ActiveFit"??

Well yeah they were doing bottles of Kopparberg for a euro as far as I can remember.

I think its great and because you pack the stuff on a trolley before you pay for it. It becomes obvious if you will have room in your car.

Ikea all the way for me really

It's just too damn full all the time because apparently the whole of Ireland decided that it needs new bedside tables or whatever

Cider. But make sure you get the mixed berry one. My favourite by far.

In all fairness if your getting tired walking around a shop you need to get out for some more exercise.

Its non-alcoholic cider, seen a lad there last week nearly strangling himself with 4 cases only to be told it was non-alcoholic he nearly dropped with shock :eek

The Kopperberg is alcohol-free. That's why it's €1 :rolleyes:

Doyler92

See he said he was bored not tired. But good point.

No, because I don't buy cheap, poor quality muck.

I did venture up, I needed a futon & some other things and took the view that the stuff is OK'ish for furnishing somewhere your going to let out.

Its a horrible kip, any man's idea of hell.
