@FedUpAlready Just had a look and no issues with your link with latest Samsung Internet, Firefox or Chrome all either with PN FTTC or Full Fibre and with or without a VPN (Windscribe).

"Access Denied

You don't have permission to access "http://www.argos.co.uk/" on this server.

One thing possibly worth pointing out in the OP: "http://www.argos.co.uk/"

This is hardly the normal route nowadays (although it worked for me using Edge and Opera) which would surely be: https://www.argos.co.uk/   Or the default www.argos.co.uk

@FedUpAlready 

...As I was trying to say. Before I was VERY rudely interrupted by LITHIUM😠

 

Time to update that "Favicon"!

Re: Wierd issue accessing argos.co.uk

@pvmb Fair point about the URL, but it does have https in the address bar.

 

I started with a link from google search, looking for light weight vacuum cleaners.  Since that gave the error I tried just argos in the address bar, and let it take me there.  If I type in just www.argos.co.uk in Firefox's address bar, it still adds the https and I still get that same error page.

 

I guess they've employed people, or signed with a hosting company that just don't really know what they're doing, which will no doubt lose them a lot of sales.  I can just use Chrome for now though.

Thanks for checking, @Mav . Yes, it seems to be Argos that's causing the problem.

Re: Wierd issue accessing argos.co.uk

@pvmb I'm not sure what you mean about refreshing the Favicon.  I tried this, which googling says should work:

 

https://www.argos.co.uk/favicon.ico

 

And hard refreshed that when it showed it.  No effect on the error page though.
