No...we don't accept it as normal...we see the same people too.
The question is what do you do about it ?(In practical terms)
Maundy is the magnet for these people and there are many in the town(businesses who see nothing wrong in this charitable venture) proclaiming their support for the organisation. They do not see that the presence of these people is both intimidating and off-putting, and as such, detrimental to business in general.
It is very easy to tell us what is wrong, but coming up with
workable solutions is quite another thing.
