Real posh people inherit furniture or have it made to order if they have to. Anything wasn't custom built to your own spec or inherited is definately middle class

Might be worth hanging on a couple of months Pete. I hear that there is going to be a garage sale in Downing Street, you may be able to ick up a good leather recliner his Tonyness has has his ar$e on.

SHORT DESCRIPTION:
Folding Commode with potty, lid and padded seat. Commode chairs have built-in collection pans/bowls that are used for storing waste when toileting away from the bathroom.
HTH
BTW, why go to MFI looking for a chair at £1000?

MFI arent the only company struggling. Labour have created a very difficult environment for companies to operate within, due to all the extra red-tape and extra responsibilies put in place.

Must have been a big item, did you arrange for the store to deliver, or did your dad give you a lift with it in his Galaxy?

Ikea has a sense of fun whereas MFI is incredibly uninspiring,just an awful place to visit.

I know but it does mean that along with many other characteristics you certainly don't buy furniture from Ikea.
