Re: CHAT: Hymn to Ikea (was: Re: Re: CHAT: F.L.O.E.S.

As far as I remember, last time i bought something at
Ikea (by the way, we French pronounce IKEA: I-KE-A,
which is much simpler ;-) ), I had'nt to wait more
than half an hour to get my stuff delivered, at it was
in the same building. Last time I went to some
concurrent store (called Conforama in France), I had
to drive nearly 5 km and wait for one hour to get the
stuff. It was very depressing, especially on a rainy
Sunday. I had to get some soup (that's what they
called it) from an automat to survive. It still feel
sick when I think about it.

So, all well considered, Ikea was not the worse one.
