Children these days seem to be exposed to the effing and jeffing from a very early age,(by some parents) so it will be no surprise that they find this to be acceptable language when they grow up.

not sure its just that margaret
my dad very rarely swore, bloody hell or damn n blast was all i ever heard him say occasionally, n i used to go for the odd pint with him when i was older, n still heard no more than those. yet i can remember a neighbour who was horrified at those words, so not mild in their eyes.
