Sorry to say but bad language is the norm, and has been for some quite considerable time. You just can't get away from it, it's on the media on public transport and even in the street.

Even when my kids were growing up I always told them " I can't stop you hearing it but I'll certainly stop you using it"

Even when we hear it when out most people will just say nothing but the more you ignore it the worse it gets, so what's the answer??

Bring back the birch.....that will do for starters

Not that I've checked this out but i believe some of todays 'words' are now in the dictionary?

I saw headlines on the net about a hosepipe ban. Didn't read it but wouldn't be surprised if it happened!
The water rates have been bumped up thus year, nothing new to show for that - or is there and I've  missed it

I've yet to understand why we, as an island, surrounded by water STILL rely on rain and reservoirs.

Why the coastal towns and cities at least are not getting water from the sea through desalination amazes me. It's the same with these giant offshore wind farms, whatever happened to wave power, there's plenty of wave motion around these isles just ask Canute.

Yes, it's certainly dropped temperature wise, I've actually put my heating on today for awhile.
Plus still No RAIN ------- we'll be on a water ban very soon I reckon   :-?

Why did I get a ban for putting long live the king?

Are you racist against an Englishman for being patriotic to my king and country???

All the crap you let others post and kick off about and I make a post saying long live the king and get a ban.

What kind of poorly managed forums is this, when you allow all manner of rants but don't let a man show love for his kin
g and the land hes in????

You have seemingly re-joined this forum? However you have entered with an attitude. Please drop the attitude. You will be welcome to post and comment on topics, however if they become abusive and uncalled for your posts will be removed.
I suggest you start again with a good attitude C:-)

Not sure about your instance but I refused to let any of my Foster children have Radio One on in the car - purely because of the language used on the radio station.

I do try to keep my language at a respectable level.
Locally, some other operators don't  :))

You never know who's listening   ;)

All in good fun. Not point scoring  ;D ;D ;D
