    How peaceful is your working environment?  My town centre workshop
    had  been peaceful for most of the 26 years I'd been there.
    Unfortunately,  recent years has seen a growing trend where shops
    and stores play loud  music during business hours to drum up trade,
    often to the detriment of  those trading around them. 

    Recently, I won a three year noise pollution battle against a fashion
    store  and was enjoying the satisfaction it gave me. Unfortunatly
    this was short  lived, as today a multiple store opposite has placed
    speakers outside  their store entrance and are playing loud music
    into the town centre which  continued all day long. A telephone call
    to the store manager was met  with the comment "the speakers are on
    our property and they are there for advertising" I was hoping for a
    more sympathetic response from the "Woolworths manager" but should
    have known better from past experiences. I have no idea if this is to
    be a permanent fixture, but I'm already aware  of the effects it will
    have on me. Modern trading methods have robbed me  of the once
    peaceful workshop I enjoyed. I do miss it and wantit back.
