Could you pick up one of those things that come in different colours but you're not sure what they do? I'll have a green one, thanks.

Yep, once you're in, they don't want to let you back out.

Are you fucking mental? If Dante had seen the future, his description of Hell would definitely have included IKEA Croydon...

We go and get the pick & mix before going to the cinema. Each of the kids can have their own bag and it saves a fortune.

I've done my shopping and trying to have a coffee in this poorly designed building. You should be ashamed of yourself Shag! IKEA and Abba both have 4 letters. Here's another; FUCK!!

Strange how I like ladies chests and their drawers but not the furniture. Nah, I'm a dab hand at building stuff. Who needs instructions?

Without going into details, I have visited the IKEA in Bologna. You know what, it's EXACTLY THE FUCKING SAME as the Croydon one. Except for the smoking room in the canteen.

Oh I love a bit of self-assembly I do. I would struggle with wardrobes and bunk beds now but I managed a double bed with a little help from my daughter. I think she held one end up while I screwed the base in. I get excited tipping out the parts and checking them against the parts list. Then the trying to work out what the pointy fingers,letters and numbers mean. It's like being on the Krypton Factor

2.5 hours seems a bit long for a wardrobe,did it have drawers with it?
