I Some people on here have suggested that I use some of the pubs in Bedlington for my cake club and I have considered this, but after reading this post I'm not so sure. I don't want my members to be subjected to swearing. I have witnessed the people standing outside of the grapes swearing and also a lad who, I now know drinks in there regularly, boasting about his drug addiction on the bus.

Diane would allocate you the use of the back room, away from the 'regulars' in the front bar. Furthermore, if you are planning evening meetings you would find the troublesome crew have long since gone home!

Mercury, believe me when I tell you that there is not one word in the english language, or any other for that matter, which is unnecessary,

I think there are many. As a professional write I despair at the use of superfluous and unnecessary words and phrases that make their way into the mainstream press. As for the use of taboo words in pubs, I can't think of a single occasion when they would be necessary. I'm no prude, I simply find it ugly and cringeworthy.
