A trip to IKEA involves Many Things, most of which have been written about elsewhere. I will therefore not bother to roll out a smorgasbord of familiar gags about food serving platters called 'Smorgasbord', meatballs in gravy, the difficulty of assembling flat-pack furniture, missing nails and tea-lights at 2p the hundredweight. I will instead draw your attention to this astonishing intrusion made by the animal kingdom some time today in IKEA Croydon:
How he got past security I will never know. Everyone loses their sense of humour in IKEA (so no-one would have thought to put him there), and I can't see how he could have climbed up there himself. I suspect that there is some Dark Magic at work, and will alert the Swedish Ambassador immediately.
"Ambassadör , där er en råtta i min affär!" That should do it.

Mmmmm. Meatballs.
Someone put it there. But for once, it wasn't me. VEERRRRRRY MYSTERIOUS.
We have mice at the school at the moment. The other day I arrived at work to find a mouse had shat in my pigeonhole.
I kid you not.
Oh my god, not two of you?!
(Sorry, irresistable, will go back to the crap TV now)
That rat looks a bit like Basil Brush, the same cheeky smirk.
Mice? Shitting in your pigeonhole? So amusing on so many levels! Dearest Cheerful One, hello and welcome. Cup of tea?
NMJ - not wrong as it goes. I love the BB.
Clare - the Swede in my cellar told me it was so and so it Is.

I could never lose my sense of humour in IKEA. It is a wonderful place. If anything, it requires more of these beautiful rats. And perhaps some penguins.
My sense of hmour is always enhanced by reading those Swedish names for innocent kitchen utensils and now I know there are rats as well ........
And did you know if you get there before opening time, they shepherd you to the restaurant where they will give you free tea or coffee? You can also treat yourself to a full English breakfast for 99p (but probably not in the Bordeaux branch). It sort of makes up for the fact you only intended to buy some tealights and a few napkins, and ended up spending £200 on two trolley loads of things you didn't know you needed.
