What kind of person would resent pedlars being at a festival?

Without the hair braiders or the clothes sellers, the orangutan man (cue Tom Palmer) or the wooden rose seller, the jewellery stores or the artists, Sidmouth seafront would be just boring old Sidmouth Sea Front.

I appreciate Sal's comment above about the othe other lemonade sellers and see her point of view about that entirely.

But come on folks...it's a festival! Lighten up and let some people make a bit of money on the side now and then for heaven's sake. It's not the end of the world!

Live and let live. The pedlars are great!

Next you'll be wanting the buskers to have licences and a 'pitch'!!
