Yes its defnitely conditioning plus the outright vulgarity is vile as well. I've noticed for a few years they have been saying "poo" in various ads - its a very infantile word as well as being disgusting - we used to have ads for toilet paper etc for decades without having to hear such base words!

This is more chipping away at British culture.

Remember British reserve?

A greater degree of formality?

Traditional British etiquette? A dislike of ostentation and boasting, reticence about discussing money? The working-class self-improvement?

Home cooked meals? Brewed beer rather than wine or spirits? I could go on!

Good grief. What was that? Looked more like an exam than a classroom.

In real life, what remains of it, anyone breaking wind in a quiet setting like that would produce howls of laughter.

Our local primary is having its first intake since the inflicted regime.

The numbers are way down on previous years and the parents attending last week's induction days were all asking if there were always so few children. 3 class sizes of near 30, are now decimated to less than 20.

Add to that, the diversity and lack of English spoken. One family actually leaving Dubai to grace, Ballyclare with their presence..
