Background music is a complete conversation stopper! Like you, Derbhile, however, I can remember a time I enjoyed it, for transporting me to the world of adolescent fantasy, flipside of adolescent angst. And I strongly object to women being called 'girls'!!!
Yeah, men aren't called boys. I think the music in cafes and restaurants would be less intrusive if it matched the atmosphere the owners are trying to create.
