More Ikea

On Thursday, we went (again) to Ikea in Brent Park. Thankfully they finally seem to be sorting it out, and as it’s now also open ’til midnight it means that shopping there isn’t too bad. Well, in comparison to poking your eyes out with spoons, or beating yourself to death with a cricket stump, anyway.

Fortunately we didn’t want much – really only a large cabinet for the bedroom, a couple of mirrors, and a couple of picture frames. They didn’t have the mirrors we wanted (although I did like their equivalent of “out of stock”, which is “this item has been accidentally oversold”), and yet it still took us pretty much two hours to get through the store and back out.

Two frigging hours. I despair…
