    Has anyone in Scotland got any? I understand that they were going to honour anyone who asked even although it is not meant to be on up here?

    Went to the Birstall branch at 8:57 and there was a queue of about 30 people. We couldn't be bothered and went back home :P

    Presuming you are winding everyone up but if not, who on earth would buy one from you on ebay, knowing you only paid 1p and also the fact they are only £6.49 to buy from Ikea anyway. Postage and any fee charged for the chair would probably be more than that.

    That said, you are probably just trying to wind people up for some reason - yawn!

    so did you hire a small coach or did they travel in separate cars if so did you pay their expenses, and factor that in to your costings (hope you didn't have to travel far) because by my reckoning for the 200 chairs you claim to of purchased you would have had to have 33 people. thats without what you got in the other van

    just had a truly terrible time at the croydon store - disgusted and penning a complaint right now...

    nearly got beaten up!!!!!!!!

    human beings threatening each other over cr*ppy chairs. has the world gone mental???

    i for one would rather have paid full price. then again, i know next time not to bother - life is too precious to risk it over penny chairs!!!!!!!!!

    :(
