Bagpipe ban for tat shops

[Phil]

I don't mind the bagpipe music but I'm not so happy about the Indian music which blasts out of some of these shops, there is one in Princes Street and one on Nicholson Street which always seem to be playing Indian music when I pass.

I have to admit that I had not noticed the Indian (sub-continent) music but even the pipe music palls after a few times around. When they had a shop in Hanover St. I well remember hearing the noise when I was inside the Crabtree & Evelyn shop across a busy street from it. Plus the same tune seemed to come around and around. Pity help local residents and shopkeepers who have to thole( put up with) this day in, day out.
