Sir.-Re: the possibility of an IKEA in Basingstoke. The Gazette has made my day.
Having spent last Thursday slowly making my way through the roadworks on the M25, then slowly around the North Circular, I finally reached IKEA and purchased a mattress, which the staff could not put in my car because you musn't bend them.
I then had to pay £80 for delivery and start my weary journey home, back around the North Circular. To avoid the M25, I came back on the M4, which was a big mistake as there were even worse roadworks at Maidenhead.
Please, please, please, let IKEA come - and open next week!
PS: By the time this letter is used, my mattress should have arrived... I hope.
