Too many of us know the frustration of hopping onto the bus,train or tube, hoping for a few minutes of peace (and a journey without delays)… only to have our ears assaulted by someone else's tinny phone speakers.

It’s annoying, antisocial and completely unnecessary.

I know from my own experience how intimidating it can feel to approach someone and ask them to turn their music down, and it’s clear I’m not alone in that - polling we commissioned has found a majority of Brits (54%) say they would not feel comfortable doing this.

More worrying still - but perhaps not surprisingly........
