Christmas shopping is stressful at the best of times but going into a shop and hearing ridiculously cheesy Christmas music really puts my teeth on edge.

It must drive shop employees stark, staring bonkers.

So it was wonderful going into the Oxfam shop just down from Brighton Clock Tower at about 6.45pm recently to hear calypso and roots reggae. That’s more like it.
