IKEA

Probably the worst shopping experience ever - IKEA at Lakeside!
I have been in smaller Airport terminals than this place.
It is a real test of human endurance; probably on a par with climbing Everest and trekking to the South Pole.
You have to follow the arrows painted on the floor, and walk at a snails pace, past various items of crap from 31p upwards, whist bumping into people trying to see if they can walk slower than a snail on Valium, before you get to the furniture you wanted to see in the first place.
Then, try to get out; You can't!
Consult the maps strategically placed where no-one can see them, and you'll find that the exit is not marked.
I would have jumped out of the window, but there isn't any!
Eventually you find a friendly native, and she directs you to the exit.
You pay, but you cant take the large carrier bags out of the store, so they rip you off with another bag.
Never again - I had more fun clearing the sewer the weekend before
