150 kids run amok in IKEA

Tabnabs

Some 150 kids infiltrated Ikea in Karlstad in western Sweden on Friday to play hide-and-seek following a call to arms on Facebook.

Harald Linder, one of the boys behind the event, told Nya Wermlands-Tidningen newspaper that they created a Facebook event and invited their friends to join in.

But the game got a bit out of hand, among other things frightening a customer who fled through an emergency exit.

One of the participants, Gustav Danielsson said that everyone ran in “whooping and cheering” but that then “things got a little chaotic.”

Danielsson told the newspaper that they feel bad about scaring the woman, whom they would like to apologize to. “We have saved up for a small Christmas present for her,” he said.

The store's management was less than enthusiastic about the whole affair.

“We are happy that Ikea is somewhere people want to come to and that it's pleasurable. But since safety is important, we will keep an eye on this kind of thing in the future,” Ylva Magnusson, press officer for Ikea Sweden, told Nya Wermlands-Tidningen.

When I saw that thread topic I thought 150 creamers from the 'Mun had rode their horses in and wrecked the place.

I think this would work great in our Ikea..
The only problem is that hide and seek might be a bit tame for the kids of ballymun.
How about a snowball fight? But with bricks instead of snow.

Was looking forward to reading the thread, but once I saw Sweden, I switched off!

Right.

I thought it was that powdery stuff you find in hotels sometimes for putting in your coffee.
