    Our IKEA in gateshead sold out 5000 (aparently) in 20 minutes. I missed out but to say it was bedlam would be an understatement. It appears some peoples lives depended on them getting 6 chairs for 6p. Better luck next Sunday/Monday!

    They are not available in Scotland. Do you think that I could sue under the race relations act? :(

    When this was last on but the score was a draw...someone had contacted their local store in Scotland and they were told that they would honour it....might be worth a phone call if you are really interested!

    SUCCESSS.................... hubby reckoned I wouldn't do it, but I managed to get 6 white folding chairs which apparently retail at £6.49 each, my mother was with me and I got her 6 red folding chairs, so 12 in total !!!! for 12p - yes 12 pence, total bargain.

    The crowds, pushing etc was terrible, one little child had a chair snatched off her, (I found her another one) it wasn't very pleasant with lots of pushing, elbowing and near chaos at one point.

    Still I survived and my chairs are great for 1p each. The crowds however were madness.

    The cashier when I handed over my six shiny pennies said it was a one off, and people appeared to be going to their cars with their chairs, emptying the trolley and going back in for more !

  • Never ceases to amaze me the lengths people will go to for something thats on offer....weather they want it or not.I wouldnt give 1p for them, let alone the full asking price.

    Well done Welshy ........ not just for getting your own chairs but helping the child get hers. I'm sure the kittens will enjoy snoozing on them!
