Rochdale cowards cancel £100 fine for swearing in public ??????

[ausard2]

Now that would have interesting if trialled in Southport . There would be a few bar staff on the Old King Cole within a week.
It does have its merits, its already a law.
If you check out news papers ( Lancashire Evening Post ( 1965 circa . a person was fined £5 for swearing in public)

Is this some kind of a Christmas puzzle?

Mr A obviously does not live with a quarter of a mile radius of a high school.

The whole area of Sefton would be ultra rich if such a Law was acted upon and if the fines were actually paid.

Seriously, what is swearing? For those who swear continuously - It is no more than someone applying words in with an incorrect association. I find it annoying, not because I have taken offence - but because they are unable to express themselves correctly in the British language which they should be fluent in. When a person swears regularly, they are advertising the fact that they are have not reached satisfactory levels of education in Language skills - the problems arise when others imitate them without considering the implications.

Swearing does not bother me unless delivered with vehemence or with the threat of physical or emotional violence.

I do think articulate people can swear with the best of them though.Perhaps it is about self control.

If I had a fiver for every time the "f" word is used on tv I
would be a very rich old lady.

I'm with Hamble on this one: i depends exactly how someone is swearing.

I know people who drop the 'f-bomb' regularly without any offence. I've also heard it uttered with such vehemence, I could physically recoil.

There's a widespread theory that people who swear a lot are actually of above average intelligence: https://www.sciencealert.com/swearin...say-scientists

I have to say that if I get through the first hour of the day without saying 'FFS' under my breath, I'm doing quite well It all depends on the context.

That TV programme-Mrs Brown?
I don't get it at all occasionally the channel lingers and I here Mrs Brown say the F word.
For ages Mr Hamble insisted it was '****' and an Irish custom until I
persuaded him to listen properly.

I have been redacted.
The word begins with f.
then e followed by c and ending with k.

I've heard both. Again, in that context, with that character, not at all offensive.

I found it hilarious even though I don't 'get' the programme.
