I once nearly did. I had to double back on myself to pick up a cupboard door handle I had forgotten. That was it - lost and in some sort of vortex.

Harrogate Borough Council have always been notoriously useless at anything recycling related.Ohhh I can just leave it up against the wheelie bin if it won't fit. They did get stroppy last time I left a bike box though

The IKEA in Exeter has had people queuing as well, since 06:30. I odn't think anyone can be that desperate for anything (that you can't order online). I've never been into the store but looking at their website, they don't look particularly cheap for what you get. It's just as cheap on Amazon if you want wood-effect flat pack stuff (which I'm not knocking). Funnily enough, the picture used on FB to tell the IKEA Exeter story had pictures of couples outside, which contravenes IKEAs policy of 1 adult+1 child apparently.

I’d say that Ikea flatpack is far better than anything else in same price range. Not that I need anything!!
couples outside may well not have been allowed inside together however

On the recycling front, for some reason garden waste bags have not been collected since lockdown. So I've got a 6ft high pile of stuff from the garden (mostly ivy from the fence). One tip in the city is open but I'm not going to queue, I'll just wait until my Dad can come down with the trailer and he can compost it all at his farm. I've advertised all the other shrubs for free and so far one person has had my Fuscia and a couple of other big shrubs.

Are council is Hinckley And Bosworth Three wheelie bins .A few miles up the road councilI is North West Leicestershire they won’t take cardboard Still using bags for some household rubbish Wheelie bin for non recyclable refuse. Are council will take large cardboard boxes as long as they are flattened.
It amazes me how rules for refuse collections are different within a few miles.We are we’ll served in are area regarding waste collection

Similar pictures from Wednesbury Ikea, as well. I simply can’t fathom what people would so desperately need, from there, that they would consider standing in a 3 hour queue that snakes round the whole car park, in blazing hot sunshine and with a pandemic virus circulating? The world has gone mad

My bet is these are the same people who queue at 5am for the Boxing Day sales. I simply have nothing in common with them.

Cut it down to A3ish sizes and put it in the paper and card recycling bag, the council will take it, they just do not take cardboard that is too big for the bag.
Use another bag, one of those clothes recycling bags that pops through the letter box. No one answering is rare in IME.

I feel like I could... TAKE ON THE WORLD!!
I wouldn’t queue but in their defence, IKEA delivery prices were insane the last time
I looked.

Absolutely. "I didn't need a new sofa or some bedroom furniture 2 months ago before the lock down, but in the intervening period my circumstances have changed so much it is an imperative and I can't possibly wait an extra few days". FFS.
