Actually, I'm glad to know that Shaker. I guess it's a bit of a cultural acceptance thing then. I could have found myself on the tube admonishing some young chavs to watch their language. Thereby bringing forth either a physical or much worse verbal attack.
Again, over here, I don't know very many adults who wouldn't admonish kids for vulgar language. And also, most of the time but not all, the kids will invariably apologize and cease.
I even have a friend who will say to adults using vulgar language to refrain as it his wife and/or children are offended. Again, the people will typically apologize.
Lesson learned!
