Ikea, what a place, cheap nasty furniture, the intoxicating fumes of MDF , the staff dying via lack of oxygen due to the MDF dust settling in their lungs like the coal workers of old.

Lovely.

£1 for a breakfast though! Bargain! We went in today for it, 2 hash browns, big dollop of beans, big dollop of scrambled eggs, 2 rashers o bacon, a single sausage Crying or Very sad, fried tomato and a free coffee/tea although you can steal hot chocolate.

All for £1

Sadly they never let you swap stuff.

For example I hate fried tomatoes and the eggs gie me the skits so I cannae eat them, so the secret is to take along others with you and swap thinsg round!

Bargain and well worth the money!

Hmmm, just a bit pikey. Trouble is Ikea have realised thier profit margins are suffering and are now restricting the amount of pencils they put out. You see the pencils are made out of the same wood as the furniture. Hence now Ikea must sacrifice even halt furniture production in order to provide materials to produce a suitable amount of pencils, to replace those stolen. They may actually have realised that I am in the process of building my own furniture from 1000's of these tiny pencils. To be honest it is easier to assemble and sturdier than actual ikea furniture.... Smile
