Ikea!

Bought a new bed frame for my daughter yesterday, only to find that on unpacking it, the slats for the frame weren't included, check out staff didn't mention it, and only checking the fine print of the website do it say its a seperate item. Not even in the same section of the warehouse!!

So 140 mile round trip to get them!!!

Ah yes. This.

Did the box and its number not say 1/2 or 1/3 etc?

Normally it does and directs you to the right area to collect them.

Pita they didn't notice at the check out

Getting emails about Christmas already. We don't even have the Soho Massive Christmas party until March!

So this time I decided to reply to the restaurant chain to tell their COO exactly what I thought of their marketing strategy... I'll let you know if I get a reply.

The ones on the coastal area I went to on Sunday weren't quite ripe and the orchard near us hasn't opened yet for PYO.

we were helped out by one of the assistants at the self service, so it was done for us. When i went back the slats were priced as a seperate item, so we hadn't been charged for them, but no prompt anywhere, don't forget the slatsb
