The one that we have here has a cinema that plays cartoons and a play area so you can leave the kiddies while you follow the yellow lines around the maze with your little pencil and pad, the staff are helpful, and even remind you if you have left any kiddies behind, there are two places you can get something to sustain you on your mammoth trek around the mammoth store...and , besides all these things that you can't even pronounce, never mind spell.

Years ago mam bought me a candle holder in the shape of a dutch girl and I so wanted the dutch boy to go with it - out of stock. But months later we saw it on display and asked to buy it, to be told no as it was a display item but on explaining about my dutch girl, the manager actually gave it to me free of charge. Hows that for customer service?Felicity Grace Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17852843882007267665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4308258288275568597.post-3080917403487202812010-02-04T09:02:32.851+00:002010-02-04T09:02:32.851+00:00The great thing about Ikea is that if you can'...The great thing about Ikea is that if you can't find the toilets you can just head down to the bathroom section and take your pick.mo.stoneskinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10737422581378328590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4308258288275568597.post-19355734007928561952010-02-04T05:17:35.415+00:002010-02-04T05:17:35.415+00:00This is a great post and so true.

What I don't like is the way going to Ikea isn't like going to a normal shop. Oh no. It's like going to a museum where you see all these weird modern art exhibits. But you don't get to choose what you see (unless you've been there before and know the shortcuts), instead you have to shuffle past every exhibit.Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00568060698065303020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4308258288275568597.post-86802873996904302212010-02-04T00:24:36.126+00:002010-02-04T00:24:36.126+00:00At least they are consistant they whole world over...At least they are consistant they whole world over.

But their furniture sucks. Buy a light and you can only buy their light bulbs- other brands don't fit! Same goes for duvets and duvet covers. They're weird sizes! What is up with that?!<br /><br />The only good thing about Ikea really is their meatballs. And i'm not being dirty... :)Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04152803362923785129noreply@blogger.com
