  1. Did my first GCE 'O' when I was 15.....GCE's which were marked in numbers not letters......1 - 6 pass; 7 - 9 fail.

  2. Not for me they weren't. GCE in letter, CSE in numbers. All these years you've thought you had the higher O Levels ;)

  6. The swearing thread got out of hand fast..... But I think (my opinion though) were like children.... Which I think is great!.... Say... Open a thread stating " I don't approve of swearing" and what happens....

    Take this thread.... No swearing... And what's the title.... Swearing thread.

    Fantastic!

  13. I'm not a fan of swearing
    I know people do and that's up to them
    It annoys me that comedians think that to be funny every other word should be f***
    One of the reasons I can't stand mrs browns boys
    The C word is not acceptable and I hate it with a passion.
    I worked in the motor trade for 10 years and I didn't hear a swear word in any garage in that time
    It seems to have become an accepted practice to have swear words in a conversation

  15. I'm told they swear but they never did when I was present

    I have heard them but when they thought I had left the area :)

    It was the late 80's and I think people were more respectful then

  16. what was your position there? don't think people are less respectful,deffo busier and language has moved on, comedians have definitely played a part in it.

  20. Wot? I did?

    Nah......My GCE 'O's were definitely numbers (1967 / 1968)........I always tell people I got my Maths, French and Physics with a '9'............or in other words, I failed them.

    Sorted that discrepancy out when I went to Tech college.

    Yep, I think people swore less in the 60s - 70s.......I rarely heard a woman swear then; and my old man would say 'Flinking' when he swore.
