    In the process, caught up with this as well!:eek:

    Please skip this if you might be offended - as I know some people don't like discussion about this, but I'm genuinely bemused about this and asking a legitimate question.

    I had to click on it, but couldn't find any 'rude words' at all. Why do people think the word "penis" is a rude word?!?:question::huh: It's the proper medical name for it. The only word I could spot was the word "balls", but the Collins English Dictionary removed the "taboo" marking from that word in 2001 so, whilst it was 'rude' prior to that date, it no longer is. If we have to prove it 'beyond reasonable doubt', then I'm certainly in doubt due to the different dictionary markings, for example comparing different dictionaries other than Collins. And, if it's 'on balance of probabilities', in other words 50/50 chance, the old Broadcasting Standards Commission research from way back when (2000, which cannot be a guide as to the position some 14 years later as standards change and move on) found that a fewer percentage than any other thought that the word "balls" was swearing - and I think it was below 50%, so I can't even say, on balance of probabilities, that the word is rude.

    I found and heard no other words in that video that I have any awareness of anyone considering to be "rude" so I'm literally (well not actually:rotfl:) at a loss for words and can't detect any "rude words" in that video, let alone a "few". Where's the "rude" content that I was being pointed to and was looking for?!?:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I'm sorry if I'm rational in my thinking and trying to consider it logically and resolve it. I know that for "everyone else", or most people anyway, the emotion rules more than the rationality. (And, if me saying that arouses your anger/any other similar feeling, perhaps as a result of you putting yourself within my term of "most people", then it's just proved what I've said!)

    I think it's just a warning to those it might offend. There are some people, probably in the older generation, who do consider these words offensive. Probably because of their upbringing? I don't know if we have anyone here who fits that bill? But it's always considerate to give a warning just in case.

    You are rational in your thinking, that's why you don't see that side of things. It's very much a social issue and being aware of what I like to call 'generational thinking'.....the way different generations react to certain subjects, words.....etc.

    There's nothing wrong with your way of thinking. You wouldn't be you if you didn't think that way. I guess that it's an awareness that whilst you think something isn't offensive (and you wouldn't post it if you did) you are aware that others can and do think differently and you don't wish to offend them. Then you leave it up to the individual (who knows what they find offensive) whether they watch or not :)

    I'm shutting up now because I'm doing posts as long as yours :eek: :p :rotfl:

    No, I can't find my OP that I wanted to correct. Just concerned in case we reach the end and this thread is locked in case anyone ever encounters the thread and reads it (as it remains on the Internet) and thinks that that was a historically accurate reflection of the position at that point in time, lol!:rotfl::rotfl:

    I wonder if I should go to the front page and post a huge disclaimer before my Morries list - to tell them, if you read later and I say this, it's wrong! I'm not explaining well. It was the Sure Xtra Cool deodorant where, I seem to recollect, I'd said that Morries do stock it - except it turned out later that I'd seen a different size. :think:Perhaps I never said that but just said I may have found an explanation on the Sure deodorants from the Wrexham store (...surely this means my OP was prior to that... and therefore I'm looking in the wrong place?). It's because I think it's not fair to accuse Mr A's comparison of returning incorrectly N/A when that was not the case.

    I hope this post anyway sets the record straight.
