Noise etc (grumble warning)

It's official - there are too many pointless announcements on public transport! The transport minister has spoken up about it - read here. (Image from here.)

"Every little helps" when it comes to reducing the noise burden of daily life.

Which government minister will speak up about the other beeps, bleeps, blasts, and blither we are constantly exposed to?

End of rant.

Pleasant surprise: a cafe with a comfortable acoustic - Made in Camden, at the Roundhouse. At lunchtime, anyway. (Though at £2.75, the tea is a tad expensive.)

Just to mention: why oh why do busy bars etc turn UP the music at a certain time of (early) evening? Just so that no-one can hear anyone speak?
