I found this one over at the Reading Guide. Jane Griffiths, one of the Reading MPs is pushing for a ban on in-store music…

Quote:
MP JANE SAYS "NO THANKYOU" FOR THE MUZAK!
16/01/2004 READING East MP Jane Griffiths may be under pressure from activists within her own local Labour party, and from newly-encouraged Conservative opposition, but she still has time to pursue one of her favourite missions - to get "muzak" banned from shops and public places.

Jane is using her parliamentary clout to becoming a leading member of "Pipedown", a pressure group dedicated to what they believe is people's right to shop in silence.

She says: "If you had real music it would not be to everyone's tastes, so it has to be unspecific and bland - and I'm not alone in finding that irritating."

If Jane wins her case the piped music in shops and shopping centres - designed to lull people into a feeling of well-being, and in the modd to spend - will be a thing of the past.

Do you think she's right - you'll get a chance to vote on it in our next Reading Guide poll.
