I've been once. We stoopidly bought a 4ft double bed for a small spare room once only to find that 4ft fitted sheets are like the poo of a rocking horse. Ikea do them, though.

Melvil, I've never been in that modern-day tower of babel yet without falling out with the wife. Time of day matters not. Nor time of month for that matter. Go prepared to fall out.

I suppose you could try wearing a Bernie Winters ostrich suit as it's more difficult (but not impossible) to fall out with someone in one of those outfits.

I love Ikea. I love the free pencils, the really cheap odds and ends, the unstained-paint-it-yourself furniture, the meatballs....

Boy, if ever get a house of my own, and a budget to furnish it with (as opposed to skip diving), I'm going have a field day!

I will say this, to their credit. When we had our house extension built a few years ago, part of which was enlarging the third bedroom, we found out (afterwards :wacko::laugh:!:o) that it had been built about 5cm shorter than stated in the drawings. Which meant that the alcove which was intended for a double-bed would just not take a full-length bed. Luckily we found a folding bed in IKEA that did fit.
