You can tell a Police Officer to F*** Off 3 times before it is a Public Order Offence.
Calling a Female Police Officer the C word will not only result in you getting charged, but will result in pain.
Calling a Female Enforcement Officer, who has no powers of arrest will result in them spending hours to find every single offence you can be charged with and making sure that it happens.
They really seriously object to that, and with good reason.
The Sisterhood is well organised, you will find yourself up against a female prosecutor, and depending on the severity of the offence, female magistrates or a female judge.
Either way, you will not enjoy the experience.

I rather liked him for his indifference towards racist seeking snowflakes but humour that appealed to grass roots folk.
Same with "nick nick" Jim Davidson and his mate Chalkie. The crap in the carburettor joke will live with me, my son, and hopefully my g/son for ever!

There is not need for swearing, even if you think the situation calls for it.In my opinion, anyone that uses swears words as part of their everyday language are uneducated because they do not know how to use the correct words so they use a swear word instead.

Re: Swearing / foul language
Susan, you are certainly none of those! I have winced many a time when I have heard words coming out of the mouths of youngsters, that if I had said when their age, would have had me banished from leaving the house for a month, after first having a bar of soap rammed into my mouth (only kidding with the latter).I don't care what anyone says, we have each and every one of us said swear words, whether out loud, under our breath or silently. Even when disgusted hearing someone else say the swearword would still mean our brain taking the word in, so we have still said it!
I battled many a time growing up with six brothers, it was impossible to match them in any argument as they loved to include many expletives to get their point across. but I always refrained because of their (hypocritical)very low opinion of any girl that used swearwords.
Still, that was then and times change. I am as good as the next person when it comes to swearing if I hurt myself, or put the odd rather naughty B....r into a post, but I always have 20p ready for the swearbox, and the money always goes to my favourite charity, so I guess the good Lord will sort of forgive my occasional indiscretion when I do cuss.
Never in front of family, children or strangers though!
