I've just come back from a walk around the corner to get a bag of chips. On the way home I was followed by a guy who was using his mobile phone. The conversation was liberally sprinkled with the f*** word. I don't think I'm an old prude, but am I the only one who finds the way this word has become common language now really offensive?
Last week I saw and heard a father telling off his young son. The lad was probably about 4 or 5 - yet Dad berated him, shouting the f*** word at him. It won't be surprising if that youngster grows up thinking it's an OK thing to say.
I thought Rod Stewart's recent comments at a concert (he said that if he swore on stage he would give every member of the audience £10) were great. I wouldn't allow people in my house to use the f*** word - but even the mainstream TV channels regularly feature programmes with strong language and swearing.
How about a campaign to stamp out swearing? It's not cool, it's not bright, it's not nice, it's not really how we want our kids growing up, is it?

I am with you Cedric ! We don't allow that language in our house - but yet we do keep the TV on at times when we shouldn't. Thanks for the reminder !
