    Please, l beg you ,don't let this thread head in the same direction as others. My only comment would be that maybe the use of asterisks might have been the way to put it, as l'm sure we all would have known the word that was meant. 
    However,  it is done now. May that poor young woman rest in peace. I have shed several tears over the last few days over that dreadful event.

    I seem to be in a minority so I suppose it's just me. I don't come across such language in my daily life so I suppose I am more easily offended.
    I'm certainly not out to cause trouble and in no way did I imply that this thread had any effect on the person who was so repeatedly offensive  last weekend.
    I will stay away from the non-gardening threads from now on and hopefully continue to learn from and appreciate the wealth of gardening knowledge that is usually to be found on here.
    Kind regards.

    I have contacted Daniel Haynes the editor of this website and asked him to edit my post if he considers it in the best interests of the forum.

    I’m happy to go with his decision  😊

    when we visited Brighton a lot ,  I once saw a female in a "gay bar" put her hand up a guy's kilt. She thought it hysterical. I spoke to him about it and he said it happened regularly when he wore a kilt.always females, and they always laughed whilst doing it. 
    No wonder so many bars banned Hen Parties.

    I didn't mean to jump down your throat WG, I'm sorry. I think the point Dove was making was that this is the language very often used to talk about women, and it is shocking (even to a potty mouth like me!).

    Uninvited sexual touching is sexual assault … no matter who it’s being done to or who’s doing it.

    Am very used to the language hubby from Sarf London and in the motor trade,very common
     No idea which island Wood green lives on. Everywhere you go,shops, streets, people use it. I do indoors,swore at work once, everyone was very shocked. It's difficult not to when you're with someone who does over 30 years,rubs off.

    It's not a word that is part of my every day vocabulary.   I used it because it is a shocking word that describes a shocking act ... I did not use it gratuitously.   :)

    I think that if used rarely, the F word, in the right situation, conveys the appropriate message. In the situation it was used in, I thought it was fine.
    How can you lie there and think of England
