Flat Packed Hell!

Back from the Nations largest furniture seller with a car full of boxes, instructions and allen keys.

How about a novel treat, a furniture shop with furniture that doesn’t require the skills of a Brain Surgeon to put it together and doesn’t collapse four days later because you put the front on the back and the back on the side.

I for once would like to get home and put the tele on the unit or eat my dinner off the table I have just bought!

I would say I have spent about 3 weeks of my life in the last year putting bloody furniture together and for what? For me to have to replace it months later coz it’s fallen apart.

Ok, I’ll admit it, it probably me, the way I put it together, but for christs sake give me a choice to buy it already made!

I asked to speak to the manager last time I was there, said to him, oi matey, those lads are supposed to be collecting trolleys aren’t they?  Well they look to me like they are eying up the birds struggling with their trolleys in the car park if you ask me.  Can’t you get them to do something usefull and put me bookshelf together for me? He seemed to think I was joking! Well to me that really would be good customer service.

I used to buy all my furniture from Courts and Times in the past, one by one they have closed down.  All that is left is the flat packers and bloody old pine shops!  I don’t want bloody pine, I want modern furniture that looks stylish not like some old country kitchen circa 1856!

The only thin these big places have for them is the continous free refills in their cafes, oh and 2 meals for a fiver. It hardly makes up for a house full of broken chipboard and screws!

Mr James Kesswick, Milton Keynes.

Roger Says.....

‘James! Behave! Do you remember what dreadful furniture we grew up with? Surely you can’t begrudge the nation a bit of style and at a decent price. You could always go to a department store and buy the assembled stuff you tight old git!’

High Temps.
At the end of my hightstreet we have one of those new electronic weather
checks.  Yesterday it recorded a temp of 25 C, yet last night the BBC
Weather said the maximum temp was in Cornwall and was 23 c. How can this
be?  Have the BBC got it wrong or have my council spent a load of my
council tax on a pile of rubbish again?

Shaker Maker
Why don't kids want to learn to play  the shakers or tambourine anymore.
They all want to play the record decks!!!! In my days this was left for
the disc jockey to use and organise at weddings and parties and on our
Saturday nights in t he ballroom.  Records should be played not scratched
around, how is that in any way musical?

Knitting nightmare.
There are no more knitting shops in the world. We still want to wear
woolies but cant buy the patterns or the needles to get knitting them with.
Surely I can not be the only person who finds knitting a stress relief and
exciting.  For me there is nothing better than when you have it all ready
to stitch the arms to the front and back and only have the collar left to
do.  Come on you business men, there is a huge opportunity here!
