"the food and drink stalls in the Arena because they want all the trade in their shops..."

Whenever I need food during festival (and I confess there is more demand on my part for drink) the shops invariably have long queues.

And because of the desire to see events my demands are often made at non-traditional moments so it isn't just going when everyone else does.

If the food and drink sales came from the arena and into Sidmouth how on earth would they serve us all? Perhaps we would then give up and go for a pint and then have another pint and then we are drinking on an empty stomach and might be sick all over the newly tarmaced land and get blamed for being drunks whereas it is really all due to the Town Council....and shopkeepers.....

Best regards,

Dave
