Does anyone who lives near an Ikea want to do me a favour?

I am after a set of the white trettioen lights.

The nearest Ikea to me is Thurrock and they have both other colours in stock but no white. If someone could buy me a set and post them to me (I will obviously pay) I would be extremely greatful.

Thanks,

Russell

I will never set foot in an Ikea as long as I live...the first/last time I went I kept getting jostled and bashed with trolleys, got mad and knocked an old lady over by accident...she thought I'd done it on purpose and was angry, even though I tried to apologise, so I ended up telling her to **** off and caused a scene...which didn't impress my wife and made me feel stupid.

If you have to go, go on a weekday evening. It helps if you know exactly what you are after beforehand as well.

I run a refurb company and I charge 1/2 day to collect anything from Ikea. The place is always busy.

I was at IKEA near Leeds on Saturday. My partner went in but I stayed outside (couldn't stand the crowds).

Had a really enjoyable time:
Two cups of nice coffee (just 50p per cup).
Good conversation with another IKEAphobe.
And changed a flat tyre for a damsel in distress!

Michael was an age getting though the checkouts as the person in front of him had maxed out their cards and was paying £5.00 off one card £6.00 of another over five cards in total. He was at the checkouts for 45 minutes.

Ikea is another place I have ended up having to shout "come on then!" in comical fashion after getting bumped and subsequently getting into an argument with someone
