Ikea…well, us Brits say Eye-Key-Uh. But it should be Ick-ear. Interesting huh? And it stands for Ingvar Kamprad Elmtaryd Agunnaryd (the initials of the founder, and the first letter of the farm he grew up on and the village he is from).

Grockles are tourists, I think it’s a West Country word?

I, too, am desperate to know how to correctly pronounce IKEA. We all say “eye-key-uh”. Yes?

Now thinking about the language of BLOG as a common denominator. (It’s so pleasurable to read about BBC. xx)

So what does IKEA stand for and how is it to be pronounced (I hope I am saying it correctly). :)

‘Chavs’, ‘pikeys’ and ‘grockles’? Now I’m convinced I must go to Blog Camp 1.762 to find out the meanings of these words. And the actual meaning of IKEA? Oh, how can you tease us so with all these cryptic references!

So eloquent spuddles! And to be honest I think you have the world peace thing cracked. Get the Danes to say huba buba as in the bubble gum, bloody hilarious.
