I've never really been bothered before but this time its personal so naturally I'm annoyed. But is Bill really allowed to have his table's et al all over the road? It was a tight squeeze yesterday going to Argos car park and i got some really narky looks.

Regardless of what you think of Bills the small tables are always pushed up against the shop and there's loads of space to pass.

Whether or not it is technically permitted I�d rather have the space used for people to sit outside enjoying life, than for giant polluting metal boxes on wheels to move around

Why people go in their droves to Bills is beyond me
Food's not all that
Far better place just up the road on the same side
Still the Lewes coffee classes do love somewhere they can have a chatter. I hear the latest hot topic is the size of the spare room

Early on Saturday the tables were set out half on half off the pavement well before the advent of any customers. Of course when they arrived the chairs and occupants would stray completely onto the road. I put off a trip to Argos and its pick up point because of this. I have been caught before and like captain had been embarrassed by the anger of punters and staff. I really don't understand why Argos put up with it - it must affect their business. The reason the issue is an 'old chestnut' is because nothing is done. I think things will change when it inevitably ends in tears. I've seen close encounters several times.

One answer is - when buying a "pickup" item then speak to the manager and request that the item be taken to your car @ the front of the shop. If they won't then cancel the sale. That will soon get to Argos HQ and action will be taken ( or not)
