What's that? Have they introduced canned music at Hammersmith Bus Station?

Yes, about three years ago (and in certain other bus stations). Playing
classical music has apparently proved quite successful in reducing
vandalism and anti-social behaviour.

Thanks - very interesting. I think a lot of 7/11 shops do it as well don't
they.

Using words well is a social virtue. Use 'fortuitous' once more to
mean 'fortunate' and you move an English word another step towards
the dustbin. If your mistake took hold, no one who valued clarity
would be able to use the word again.
