   No, I thoroughly dislike unnecessary music of any type and loathe being   
   distracted by advertisments.   
      
   My local supermarket was singled out to be fitted with this abomination   
   a couple of years ago and I complained to the manager.  During a survey   
   of customers, I expressed my dislike of it and explaind, as forcefully   
   as I could without being abusive, that it was distracting me, so that   
   when I got home I realised  I hadn't bought half the things I had   
   intended to.  It was so unpleasant that just couldn't wait to get out of   
   the place.   
      
   At first, it was only used during the daytime, so I changed my shopping   
   time to the evenings.  Then they started playing the racket the whole   
   time the shop was open, so I have stopped shopping there altogether and   
   transferred my custom to a quieter supermarket a mile away.
