I'll believe that when I see (hear) it - or not.

I carry earplugs, which are not used on the bike. They are used in supermarkets, other outlets etc to avoid muzak and deafening p.a. announcements.

My experience of Fowlups is that they have muzac in the parts dept. in the clothing dept. and in the bike sales depts.

Will give it a try but am a pessimist by default.

Last time that I went in was for a full set of textiles + gloves, I just walked straight back out again 'cos of the racket.
