Knowing IKEA, these are probably loose stools!

If they are then they will only be fit for the dump.

This reminded me of back in the late 50s. When I was on Station Flight at St Mawgan The office used to get regular calls on a Friday  "Any visiting aircraft  going to....." as people tried to scrounge a lift home..

Sometimes the person answering the phone would pick it up and say  "Hank Janson,City Desk!"

Once it was the Station commander, he was NOT amused.

For the youngsters. Hank Janson was the hero of semi porno detective  stories in those days

My dad used to read them so, inevitably, did my 13 year old self 🙂   The 'porn' element was a bit weak IIRC - certainly by modern standards.

I agree but back in those days ...........

Don't forget the Mickey Spillane novels, IIRC they were raunchier. 😁

Of course, you have to remember that 'Hank Jansen' was, in reality British writer Stephen Daniel Francis and not a hard bitten Chicago crime reporter.  I just looked up Jansen on Amazon Kindle and they're all still available for about £2 each.  Apparently he could write a novel in a couple of weeks (faster than Barbara Cartland!) and used a Dictaphone back in 1949.  Amazing!

I do remember that you couldn't buy a Hank Janson novel in a main book store but there was a  shop that stocked them all in the Tottenham court road.  On the other hand Micky Spillane could be bought any where   and I remember that we bought Spillane in the Argentine back in 52 where we were living at the time.

And in passing where I had my first successful flight with a model aircraft. An Argentine kit for a Wakefield called"Cardinal"

I can still see that entire flight and the field that I flew it in
