I can understand your angst, it would lessen society if using this word became the norm, but you have to concede that there is a use (or uses) for this particular word where no other word will do. Or will have such great effect.

It is a swear word, but it is also a word. Used properly it is a very effective tool. Please learn to overlook it's less salubrious usage if you see it being used as a sharp, cutting, funny or descriptive tool with no equal.

Agree dazco so lets get it removed off the f***ing swear filter and admit its a common word:rotfl::rotfl:.......or not :rotfl:

Why is the lack of helmets an issue?

They only protect against minor injuries in most cases, and there is even some evidence they can actually cause injuries. (read more at https://www.cyclehelmets.org)

If helmets were supplied with the bikes, would you trust them - they could have been dropped or involved in a collision, making their (highly debateable) protective powers invalid. Would you even want to wear someone else's greasy plastic hat?

If you must wear polystyrene hat, get your own!

I know you won't care, Martin, and I shouldn't think you wll even read this, but you have gone down in my estimation.

Nuff said.

I do read - it - Im sorry you feel that way.

Yet this is a protest movement about a bank - something interesting to many MSE readers.

Yes no swearing or using prescribed words in the forum applies to everyone.

Would 'proscribed' be one of the prescribed words Martin?

Enquiring minds etc, etc..

Is this a protest against a bank?. To me it looks like someone capable of making stickers thought it would be funny to add something to these bikes.Having nothing worthwhile or humorous to say they chose the puerile option and chose a swear word.This is no different to teenagers drawing a !!!!!! on a bus stop.

...I wish I could shake the hand of the person who did it and wish I could think of something equally as creative to let them know just how much I hate them!

I think it's great. Sometimes the apparently puerile can be the funniest imho.
