It seams that the police in Preston are to crack down on people swearing in public places.The penalty could be a spot fine of £75.
Should raise a few bob.

Nice one Tealeaf.

I don't think it is such a bad idea actually. They have issued posters around town stating 'No effin and blinding' .. well, not sure how you spell that !
Doubt very much whether there will be many fines here, but the threat may help to curb a few people's tongues.

Good job they haven't extended it yet to the football terraces...

 

[BERNADETTE]

Would make a fortune if they implemented it on Broadway

 

[MUMMIBOO]

Maybe they could stand outside schools they could get loads of mums effin and jeffin there!

I cand seriously see it happening can you! yes it sounds good in theory but in practice maybe they should have better things they should be enforcing.

Sounds similar to what Mayor Giuliani of New York City did.
Quite a good idea

Is he the one that clamped down on graffiti Boeing ?

Foul mouthed Prestonians will probably travel to neighbouring towns for a good night out swearing.

 

[Oldschoolthai]

They'd need a sizeable swearbox

 

[Oldschoolthai]

And if you're asked to swear on oath your reply would be, 'best not, it costs too much'......

 

[magpie]

best I don't go shopping there then tut tut tut

Seems like George Carlin's "Seven Words You Can't Say on TV" is alive and well in Preston ... funnily enough, they are also the seven words you can't say on AccyWeb: I would list them in the over 18s; but I'm not allowed in there 'cause I'm Canadian.

 

[Eric]

I've just had a quick mental image of burly Preston bobbies grabbing a foul-mouthed perp, cuffing him, and washing out his mouth with soap while he bubbles out further abuse

 

[Mick]

Well i am over in Preston tomorrow so i will let you know how much i get fined

Take your own soap ... something tasty that you like
