CHRISTMAS MUSIC TORTURE 18 December 2006 The UK Noise Association and its member organisation Pipedown, is calling for an investigation into the playing of piped music in shops. Christmas music is a particular problem, with shop workers often having to endure the same songs over and over again. Campaigners will press for controls being introduced within Health and Safety regulations. Val Weedon, National Coordinator for the UK Noise Association says: “We are not asking for a complete ban on the playing of music, but for it to be regulated, so that shop workers aren’t exposed to constant music for the whole of their working day. In a recent interview with the web site Out Law, Val Weedon told them: “Listening to the same song over and over is no different to being tortured. The body will react in the same way.” ENDS Further details of the interview with OUT LAW |
