[Margaret Pilkington]

I have spent long periods in Australia, and I dislike the bad language too.....When I stayed with my nephew and his family I suggested(politely) to their son that the language he used was not fit for a great Aunt to listen to.......he didn't like being told, but he did moderate his language in front of me.......the young ladies were just as bad - they were asked(again, politely) to moderate their language....and they did so. I do not object to mild expletives, but the F word and the C word were peppered throughout everyday conversation....I found this intolerable.
