I understand that. What Cashy was saying, was that it should be all or nothing......my comment that Muslim shopkeepers would not wish to be seen observing a Christian festival was a response to
that comment.
Can you imagine the furore it would create if every shop was forced to follow observance of Christian festivals. After all there are enough folk who are apologetic about Christmas.
But then it all boils down to the mighty dollar..or in our case pound coin!
