I agree its on a different level from a walkman, some walkmans can be loud/ but the physics of it just means that the mobile will be louder.

And its always that grime music rubbish..

As long as its no swearing then Id say 'low it. However if its ****** this and ****** that..thats when it gets highly embarrssing and time for a dirty look. I did ask some youths politely on a train to turn it down (playing some ****** dis hip hop).. and they were cool..but the mouth on some of thees youth nowaydays means if they do get bright you'll want to take off your belt and lick them down.

Since I cannot be putting my hand on a youth /most times I tolerate it. But if its some ignorant music (generally hip hop with the Nword) then Iwill say something.So if you hear "man gets jumped by 10 youths on bus" in the South London Press it will be me..
