This afternoon took the daughters and a couple of their friends to a TGI Fridays in Castleford for a meal.
Now its not something that has just happened but I have become more intolerant of loud background music.
The purpose of going for a meal or drinks is to enjoy the conversation and banter among those you are with.
It seems now that you have to compete with the house music which is no longer background but full on so that you are constantly shouting 'Hey??' or just nodding in agreement without a clue as to what has been said.
Low volume background music is fine but when it interferes with conversation then its too loud. Does it not occur to whoever actually operates the volume control that it maybe a tad too loud?
I like popular music and am not averse to pumping up the volume to max for a good bit of Quo or Sultans of Swing. But there's a time and place.
Of course you could vote with your feet but its everywhere.
