The closest one to us is 2 hours away in Quebec, Canada. We go now and again just for the excuse to breeze through Duty free and stock up on English Cadburys. :blush: I've been to a couple in the US, and I must say wasn't impressed with how they managed the store. Couldn't find a thing and walked out with nowt. Still, better than the queues you'd have to endure in Croydon on a Saturday afternoon. :rolleyes:

Met the ole man in January 1998

Jan. 2004: K1 visa issued ~ April 2004: Got on a plane ~ Nov. 2004: GC in my mucky hands ~ Dec. 2006: Received 10 YR GC

That brought back rather nasty memories. The Ikea in Croydon STILL has cars queuing to get in every Saturday morning. Absolutely crazy!

Just the sight of those blue and yellow chimney things as I used to drive past would make me shudder!

Lakeside was a little bit more civilized.

We have one in Pittsburgh, Dave refuses to go as he says they "trick" you into buying stuff by making you walk through the whole store to get out :lol:

10 year Green Card received, Next step is citizenship urgh!

When you meet the one you want to spend the rest of your life with,

you can't wait for the rest of your life to begin

:lol: We all did the Croydon thing then. Geez, wasn't it a nightmare? The other problem was actually trying to find the bleedin road it was on. I'd end up driving around those effing chimneys forever. Happy days. :content:
