I feel your pain Jim. I used to work at David Jones. The piped in house christmas tunes would start November 1st.

8 hours a day for 50 days - the same tunes, over and over and over!

I've still got Feliz Navidad scorched into my brain.

Cheers

Off topic but I heard Woolies aren't playing Xmas tunes this year to appease other..... cultures?

Not sure if true. But if I worked there I'd rather the torture of Jingle Bells over the reasons for not playing them!

Sure do. In the Gulf War of the early 1990s, the US military played 'Hungry Like The Wolf' by Duran Duran around the clock for days and days as a form of torture for Sadaam's troops
