How on earth do you manage to pop into Ikea "for a little while"? It
seems to take ages to get out once I get in.

You have to find the door that allows you to short-circuit the endless
tour through departments you don't want (near the cafe in the Brent Park
store, as I remember).

But for a really radical concept, you could always try Mike Ear -
www.mikeear.com - he'll not only do the queuing for you will but will
also even assemble the flat-pack furniture
