We show that every metrizable locally compact abelian group contains a closed subset E such that the restriction A(E) of the Fourier algebra to E is Arens regular whatever the bounded multiplication it is given, but such that neither Ã(E) nor A(E)** is Arens regular (in their natural multiplications).
