This enforced listening to annoying music was suffered most by staff working in fashion and shoe shops.
Not surprisingly, the singers thought to be most annoying were also those whose records were played time and time again.The poll also discovered that Christmas was the most testing time, with workers having to endure the continual playing of Jingle Bells, White Christmas, and Slade's Merry Christmas Everyone.
