DOES the season of goodwill wear rather thin when you walk around stores where festive music is constantly blaring out?

If you’re having Scrooge moments here, it’s worth a trip to Sheffield’s Meadowhall centre where shoppers can have free earplugs if they want them.

So if you fancy a break from Bing Crosby, Wham! or Wizard, here’s a sensible alternative. Personally, I really understand this as an excess of Christmas music can drive you nuts.

In fact, I don’t think I’d be responsible for my actions if I bumped into Noddy Holder while I was out shopping currently. It’s Christmaaaaaas!
