@paintsandsings Let me check in with @publicradionerd my muse of Shakespeare
@calestous @paintsandsings ...precisely because NOBODY would say what Hugh Grant says in real life. It was cathartic at the time, that film
@calestous @paintsandsings And you don't hear swearing in the workplace. Part of the Four Weddings and a Funeral thing is that it's funny...
@calestous @paintsandsings For the working class it seems to be a kind of self-expression. But it's not Shakespeare.
@calestous @paintsandsings And it's a class thing - the middle class rarely swears. Unless they're in the entertainment industry of course
@calestous @paintsandsings No, it's not Shakespeare. It's the media. The Brits have been allowed to swear after 9pm much longer than we have
@paintsandsings @calestous There are lovely fridge magnets that are sold so you can craft your own household war with them
@publicradionerd Culture is one of the most interesting topics, I enjoyed your opinion @calestous
