Noise, noise, NOISE!

I see that Marks and Spencer are now stopping the playing of canned music in their stores.

That's one step in the right direction, me thinks.

I read that the other day but I have never noticed………do all branches play music?

[TheOstrich]

I'm not aware of any muzak played in our local M&S in Sutton Coldfield, Molly. Downstairs is the food-hall and some of the ladies wear, upstairs is the cafe and the rest of the clothing. It's quite a frenetic store, especially the food-hall, and there's such a huge footfall through the shop that I doubt anyone would notice if it was being played anyway!

[Workingman]

What on earth has M&S canned music got to do with Ton, Jen's and my digger cacophony?

You lot don't have to go in M&S. We have no choice but to listen to the constant drumming of unorchestral instruments whose non-musical purpose is to raze previous edifices to rubble.

Bear with us, please.

They've started playing music in the café in Sainsbury's, I'm not thrilled as when I go in there it's for peace and quiet, to have a cuppa and read the paper or a magazine

Frank, how long have you been on VV? You know the way that threads wander off here Just go with the flow..........

And, whatever you do, don't ever take what I say too seriously.

Headphones, loud music or movie.

Or total oblivion with alcohol although that one might end up with an altercation with said noise makers...

This morning is worserererer

We've had the cement mixer going, now we have a generator going, to operate the steel cutting and bending machine and a JCB is moving all the rock and soil and in-filling the sides of the pool

And Grumpy is strimming, but I can't hear him above the racket.

The generator wins today

[saundra]

Very very peaceful here just the birds tweeting and me Sat in the sun bliss

[tonicha]

Strimming done, generator turned off.

We now have two cement mixers

They'll be on when they start again after lunch
