I work for a company where one of the drivers put a subwoofer under the seats in the transit. 

Drum and bass first thing really got you in the mood to crack on with the job. 

Been there and done that.

 

Had a wicked sub woofer under the passenger seat in my hilux.

 

When a cool chune came in I would crank up the bass.  Passengers said it felt like they had been violated LOL.

Sounds like the old codger I first worked for.  The owner of the “020”

 

Used to drive me mental, hated blacks, gays and everything in between, couldn’t read or write and was married to his cousin, but he knew his trees.

 

I kept my gob shut and cracked on, after a year and a half I had had enough when he prodded me in the chest one morning for something that had happened the day before.

 

I lost it with him and had a few choice words to say.  He never prodded me again and I left soon after.

 

@Mike Hill also worked for him back in the noughties.

 

😜

 

Fun times eh Mike?

 

 

Incidentally this same bloke drove around in his Discovery listening to classic FM all day.

 

It was like something from “A Clockwork Orange”

May well have been.  I haven’t seen the video you mentioned though.

 

This guy I am referring to was one of the first AA Approved contractors in the SE of England along with Down 2 Earth and Keven Watt at Quality tree care.

Fortunately, I don't really ever have to share environments with other people where music might be played.

If ever I travel with family and friends, I only ever put music on my mutual consent, and I usually ask to switch off 'background' music if I'm in other people's cars as I can't concentrate on a conversation if it's on. 

I recently read about a spectrum of conditions called APD (auditory processing disorder) and I suspect it's something I have. I have really sensitive hearing in a quiet environment, but struggle to single out a conversation against background noise. I always just assumed I had some hearing loss from punk gigs as a teenager, but my hearing remains very good. APD is often a complication or comorbidity of ADHD (which I am also fairly sure I have).

 

Either way, music is something that is very personal. I listen mostly to punk from about 20-30 years ago or classical. I don't like a lot of other music (especially anything in the mainstream) but equally, I don't assume other people will like what I like.

I never have a problem deciding what to listen to while travelling to and from our wood, swmbo tells me what we're going to listen to. Simples.

I frequently drive 5+hours away for a few days work. I tend to use either Duolingo, Radio 6, Radio 4, or filthy blues guitar as my companion on the way.

I was quietly stripping a series three landy he had up the bank to keep mine running.

I can’t remember that far back.

 

Was it me?

I consider rap to be an often reasonable tune ruined by someone making up rubbish rhymes and talking over it. Banned from anywhere that I can hear it.

I don't really object to any reasonable music but that shite is not music.
