    Its not my local hospital. Not the next closest. Nor the next closest, ( which might be yours) or even the next closest!

    I also would just feel a lot better under my own steam tbh..I'll probably want to have a think after wards in the car and either wail along to the radio or....wail :D . All best done without a driver. :D

    If you have to come my way ..... I'd be happy to take you the final bit, wait for you, then drive you back to mine to pick up your hire car..... that's probably not in the slightest bit handy though.

    You can wail..... I'll ignore you.

    Is that the correct social protocol?

    Yes. Or say nothing if the music bits of the thread go over your head.
    For clarity, I was only pulling PN's leg!:)
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    Expedit update for the nice people.

    It is being discontinued. However it is being immediately replaced by another line (called kallax I think). Slightly less colours in the range.

    The difference is the thickness of the wood. The frames are all a bit thinner. Therefore the 149cmx149cm one I went for will be 147x147. The compartments will be the same size though.

    Might only be an issue for those with OCD.

    Luckily I managed to get my desired choice in the oak effect, which is what I wanted!

    It was just meant to be light hearted. Hope it didn't cause any upset - none was intended whatsoever matey.:)

    I knew they'd not discontinue forever. Must be to save on raw materials/cost of transporting (by weight) in order to continue to offer it at roughly the current price.

    Obviously this will be a b*st*rd for those who have no idea and simply wander into Ikea in the next few years and buy another few just on seeing them, expecting them to be the same as the ones they've got at home.

    I will admit to having spent the last few hours distraught at having upset you, spoken out of turn, said the wrong thing, put my foot in it etc..... and I was hoping to "get away with it" after your post by hoping that a few people would make many posts, thus distancing me from it asap with the least people knowing :)

    I think I even deleted what I said ..... such was the pain.

    s'OK, we're good. Cheers for letting me know that you weren't offended etc.

    What you posted was in no way upsetting PN. I'd have to be well doolally to have taken your post the wrong way.

    I made a light hearted comment regarding you posting a list of reasons why you couldn't see the video I posted, as a joke. I just hope it didn't upset you.:)

    BTW, feel free to comment on anything you may not know about. I do all the time!:D
