Never seen any in there - is it physically a different shop from the
main bit or summat? And daft I may be, but a bint I ain't?

 

Let's get this clear - we're talking about "John Lewis", that's across
the road from Waitrose and the Carpet Shop, near the main shopping
centre in Welwyn Garden City?

Furniture is on the 2nd floor. In fact, the whole of the 2nd floor is
furniture. And there's some bathroom-type furniture on the 1st floor.

Or is one of us going mad?

 

sorry, I'd got you mixed up with Adie[1].

[1] you both have the same hair, for a start.

 

Me probably. I've been there a few times but never noticed any
furniture.

 

I would suggest that in fact, you've never been to the 2nd floor of
JLP in Welwyn. Seriously, there's nothing but furniture (and Customer
Accounts) on that floor, and it's the same footprint (roughly) as the
1st floor were the wimmins clothes and bathroom/carpet stuff is.

 

You're quite possibly correct, although it's more likely that I'd have
gone up, found that whatever I was looking for wasn't there, and
completely ignored what _was_ there. That's proper shopping, that is,
know what you want, look for it, buy it, walk out without noticing
what else there was.

 

I didn't like their shop much when we'd gone down to Lakeside to pick
up one item (and didn't even need to go through the shop to find it,
just went straight in via the exit to the warehouse) to be told that,
as the only item in store that was not at floor level, we had to wait
4 hours until the store closed, so that they could get the forklift
out 'without injuring anyone'.

I mean, 4 hours in fucking Lakeside! Ugh!

 

....work for an evil multinational pharma company, associated with
Triumphs - easy mistake to make

 

...both had Bonwick on their bike..

 

....short names that start with "A", mincing walk, can't wheelie...

exactly.

<> bored us all completely to death with wittery
prose along the lines of:

Ah, but over here, at least, they'll deliver whatever you want, for a
price. (How do you flat pack a sofa, come to think of it?)

It even says in their shops, "No one offers free delivery, neither do
we. Pay us enough and we'll do it".

 

Is it (****) pine ?

 

Not sure who should be more worried. Adie, Ace or Bonwick...

 

No it's made of metal , quite trendy looking too actually. Would be nice if
it were 5' or more wide.

 

*definitely* Bonwick.

 

I have friends who furnished their entire (second) home from Ikea, and
it's excellent stuff! I reckon you can't get better quality at the price.
