No jangle bells

The shops are remarkably quiet in a different sense this year

No music

I quite like a bit of music when I shop, especially if it is a bit jaunty and/or nostalgic. I put a spring in my step & sing along inside my head

But Christmas had become too much. The music started far too early & if it drove me mad what did it do to the poor staff?

Did everybody realise this & just shut it up, or is it just the general gloom?

On a not entirely unrelated point, I hear that teenagers have a new ring tone fad – that high pitched whine which is supposed to stop them hanging around in places they are not wanted. They can break school rules by using their mobiles in the classroom – because the teachers cannot hear it!
