    @Fairygirl, I can't believe you are dissing the greatest guitarist of all time.
    reading between the lines, methinks 'tis not his guitar skills she's dissing. 
    I might well be wrong as is so often the case.

    it rhymes with "thud" . It's a Scottish thing.
    Don't read if you're easily offended.

    I wonder why SM and shops play music at all?? Surely more people actively dislike it than enjoy it. I hate hearing it on hospital wards the most. Nursing homes and children’s wards is ok but wards with very sick people and distressed relatives and nurses/medics trying to concentrate?? I don’t want to hear ‘Mistletoe and Wine’ when I’m dealing with bodily fluids (or any other time to be fair). 

    If if we can put any number of letters in stead of the * - I might have a few ideas,

    Yes I like to learn a new word, or fact, each day so that qualifies.

    Hospital wards often have radios on - supposed to create a homely atmosphere!? They sometimes play music during operations too - surgeons say it helps them focus (fair enough) but I doubt ‘Mistletoe and Wine’ ever makes the list!

    We walked out of a garden centre last year because of the awful music, but not before telling the staff why we were leaving.
    The staff asked us to go and complain to David personally as they were all sick of that awful music, what was it,  carols by a barber shop quartet or something.  Not even going to go there this year.

    Had to google for Jimmy Page.   Have never forgiven Led Zeppelin for that dreadful whiny Stairway atrocity for ears so blank them.

    I suspect some retaily psychology expert will claim that music makes us feel jolly and lob more in the trolley or basket than we would without it.   Never going to work with muzak tho is it?

    They could have an earplug vending machine on the way in. They'd make a tidy profit.
