No IKEA furniture here. Can't stand the shop. Went once to kill time before a pop concert many years ago, never wanted to go again. Just to hard. They only serve Swedish meatballs in the café and are really pleased with themselves about it.
The furniture has daft names. People think IKEA is some sort of alternative religion/lifestyle choice.
It dawned on me, as I looked at the twentieth kitchen table and chairs that it's a con. The tables were cheap but the chairs were expensive. Well, you usually buy both ?
People like their odd named furniture and talk about it like it's some sort of exclusive club which you have to have IKEA furniture to join.
Yeah, it's a furniture shop. Woop di do.
Give me the Argos catalogue any day !
The London traffic reports used to say, 'the traffic is queueing back to IKEA.' This went on for years but it was considered to be advertising. So they had to say, 'the traffic is queueing back to the Swedish furnishing store.'
