Ikea

We need a new wardrobe for our bedroon, so it was a trip to Ikea yesterday as a starting point. We found something in our price range, of reasonable quality, the right colour / finish, and the right capacity. So, not intending to buy, we took details and came home.

When we got home, I went on the store database and confirmed all of the components were in stock. This morning we headed back up to Lakeside in my van (so we could get all the flat packs home without delivery charges) and placed the order in the wardrobe section....We then headed to the basement to pick the order, and guess what......out of 5 components, 3 were not on the bay. So we went and queued at information for 10 minutes, only to be told the items were out of stock.

When I asked why their store database said it was in stock I was told I should not rely on that, but should have telephoned Customer Services. When I asked why they offered an unreliable online stock check system, he said I should tell head office. Well having clearly wasted a large part of my day, Dartford Tunnel charges of £4.00 and 40 miles worth of diesel in my van, I left the store disgruntled to say the least, with a pissed off missus, poorer, busier (I lost half my working day....I'm self employed....If I aint doing stuff, then nobody else is covering me) and determined not to return to Ikea unless I can possibly avoid it.

Aston Martin.

Regular readers will know of my love for that most quintessentially English of car manufacturers, Aston Martin. Only 6 lottery numbers stand between me and an Aston DBS, truly the most sublime car ever handcrafted by the company.

I've been lucky enough to visit the old factory at Newport Pagnall before they moved to to their new purpose built premises, and I've visited the legendary Aston Martin Works Service twice (which is where I took the above pic).

Yet I feel compelled to add then to my list of random irritations. "Why?" you may ask. Because news reaches me that the new 4-door Rapide model is not going to be handcrafted in this sceptred isle.

No, according to reports on Autotrader.co.uk: "While Aston Martin is famously British, the Rapide’s engine and gearbox are built in Cologne, Germany and the car assembled in Graz, Austria – but co-ordinated by an Aston Martin team from the UK."

The b******s. How could they? Evil or Very Mad

They do not have the capacity to make that, the DB9, the DBS and the One-77 here and it would be prohibitively expensive to expand.

I was in a shop today, accompanying the delightful mrs ravey, and the shop assistants were gassing loudly betwixt themselves with the topic of conversation being the location of other branches.

Apparently they also have a branch in Otley. Which one assistant thought was in North Yorkshire Rolling Eyes

and the other assistant then told them Otley is next to Ilkley Rolling Eyes

(I wouldn't want to walk it), which in turn is right next to Menston Rolling Eyes

.

And it wasn't as if they were kids, they were both old enough to know better. And one of them was a bloke who should be bloody embarrassed at his lack of local geographical knowledge. Evil or Very Mad

FFS, buy a sodding map.
