Several people were hurt in the crush as thousands flocked to the midnight opening of Ikea's newest store.

The store in Edmonton, north London, stayed open for just 30 minutes because of safety fears and five people had to be taken to hospital for treatment.

The company blamed the chaos, in the early hours of Thursday, on "an unforeseen volume of customers".

Good Lord. I would have thought a new stout was on the market, but no, it's Scandinavian furniture. Who would have thought.

Hey, if we can have a stampede at Walmart or KB Toys at 5 am, why not one at Ikea?

Maybe they didn't know that still have to put the furniture together yourself when you get it home.
