Quiet please!

I went into Bath today which it must be said is a pretty wonderful place to shop for almost anything you might possibly want.   I lived there for a while and have never got over it.   Shops are already decorated for Christmas and by the looks of the crowds in them today, doing well.   I quickly tired of the Christmas music(?) in the very first shop I went into, so after a while came out without buying and went further down the street and into another department store ....only to hear the very same tune as I had walked out on.  Max Erhmann said a long time ago - 'Go placidly amid the noise and haste of the city but remember what peace there may be in silence.'
I remember but sadly none of the commercial centres do.
