My mother and I went to Ikea in Denmark one Monday lunchtime in late September one year and were given strange looks when we asked for lunch.
After some head scratching we realised we had spent a day and a half without realising the clocks had gone back. That was the highlight of the trip.

I hate going to Ikea but it is a necessary evil. Last time I went I could hardly manage the heavy flat packs by myself, never anybody to help you. I could hardly fit it in the car and I was crushed in the drivers seat, a set of billy bookcases right down the center of the car to fit in and obstructing the handbrake and part of the gear lever, luckily it was an auto. Still not a nice 90 mile drive home. If I had a crash all that crap would of killed me. Still it's worth it as the furniture is reasonably priced and very well made. Would be nice to have more money and not suffer the place, sigh....

I am not by nature a shopper but IKEA I adore. Their stuff is good and quirky. Some of it is twee and some not very sturdy, I agree but they do serve a good breakfast and their meatballs and chips has to be tried at least once in your life.

The Decathlon in Coventry's about as far away from you as Giltbrook, but the Ikea in Cov is further away. Less chance of someone spending your money on wardrobes...
