SWEARING ON NEWTOWN ROAD - Basil (24th Jul 2025 - 22:48:10) Once again (this happened a week ago as well), to the kid on Newtown Road that is continually swearing and being loud, please tell your kid to keep the noise down, it is 23:00 for crying out loud! It’s so disrespectful for the neighbourhood community, do you have any respect!? Basil

Re: SWEARING ON NEWTOWN ROAD - A Normal Person (25th Jul 2025 - 21:32:31) D - You are far from funny - get back in your box and stay there

Re: SWEARING ON NEWTOWN ROAD - D (28th Jul 2025 - 14:24:39) When I swore as a child I received a slap across the mouth to stop me doing it again. But the loony left got in and told us it is wrong to bring children up in a disciplined way so they knew what is and is not acceptable. Now we have record child mental illness.

Re: SWEARING ON NEWTOWN ROAD - Joe (28th Jul 2025 - 15:43:56) Unfortunately the bad example is set by their parents and other adults - every time I visit a pub which is not an upmarket one I hear loud swearing going on from both men and women, it is sometimes in front of children too if it is a dining pub. Unfortunately it seems to be normal behaviour these days.

Re: SWEARING ON NEWTOWN ROAD - paul (28th Jul 2025 - 16:27:50) Hi , Manners and politeness, sadly has been lost in British society, now and for future generations. Bad or foul language to others, I believe it starts from poor parenting. Lack of education, and also what is right, or wrong, in life. Young or older people, in previous generations, behaved mainly in a good manner. The joy of being civil to one another, and the wonder in their lives to enjoy. It is not to late hopefully to change some of us, and like the ways where we live.

Re: SWEARING ON NEWTOWN ROAD - C (28th Jul 2025 - 16:41:12) Have to say I was a bit shocked when I heard at least three people (men) drop the C bomb in quick succession at The Links last week. I’m not saying I don’t ever swear but I’m mindful of not doing it loudly in public and certainly would be really careful in front of children.

Re: SWEARING ON NEWTOWN ROAD - D (28th Jul 2025 - 17:08:44) Those parents were also raised not knowing what society expects in terms of social behaviour also. Don't agree that swearing is the sole preserve of the working class.

Re: SWEARING ON NEWTOWN ROAD - paulSquare (29th Jul 2025 - 20:33:14) Hi, Don't see in this thread the comment "sole preserve of working class" . All society use profanity, and to express themselves. Using the language to offend to others, is when it is wrong. Lets live in harmony.

Re: SWEARING ON NEWTOWN ROAD - D (29th Jul 2025 - 20:51:49) Paul square, "when I visit a pub which is not an upmarket one".

Re: SWEARING ON NEWTOWN ROAD - paulSquare (29th Jul 2025 - 21:27:39) Hi, Whichever way one spin's it, offensive language is hurtful, to who ever receives it. We as a society, should be more intelligent in our lives to others today.

Re: SWEARING ON NEWTOWN ROAD - Joe (30th Jul 2025 - 04:41:07) Anyone can visit an “upmarket pub” nothing to do with class. If you can afford to visit they are still public houses. I find people use swearing loudly in their everyday conversations - they are oblivious to the fact it might offend someone hearing it.

Re: SWEARING ON NEWTOWN ROAD - Was Undecided Now Decided (31st Jul 2025 - 09:19:37) RE: NOCTURNAL VOCALISATIONS – NEWTOWN ROAD SECTOR Dear Basil, Esteemed Resident and Loyal Asset of the People’s Sleep Programme, Your communiqué has been received, timestamped, and filed under “Volume Offenses – Tier 2.” We extend our sympathies for your disrupted REM cycles and appreciate your ongoing commitment to nighttime silence quotas. Be assured, the Ministry of Youth Containment and Decibel Regulation is aware of the ongoing disturbances emanating from the Newtown Road Minor Uprising Unit (colloquially: “That kid”). Despite earlier de-escalation protocols issued last week—and the week before that—we regret to report that certain juvenile agents continue to deploy unsanctioned language and unlicensed enthusiasm after 23:00 hours. The following remedial measures are being authorised: Deployment of Tactical Yawn Team (TYT) Increased passive-aggressive curtain twitching A fourth and final warning written in Comic Sans To the custodians of the aforementioned Minor: your cooperation is no longer requested—it is now required. You are reminded that State Law prohibits all sonic offensives post-curfew, unless accompanied by jazz and State permits. NOTICE TO ALL CITIZENS: We acknowledge that this marks the third infraction broadcast within a 1-hour period. While the State prefers to avoid over-communication (lest it appear overbearing, which of course it never is), we must respond to all community breaches swiftly and with slightly theatrical gravitas. We apologise for the intensity of enforcement messaging today—but remind all comrades: Discipline is not oppression—it is order in fancy boots. Your understanding is noted. Your compliance is expected. For the Greater Quiet, for the State Good. – Supreme Directorate of Local Order and Midnight Harmony 📣😠🌙🛏️

Re: SWEARING ON NEWTOWN ROAD - D (31st Jul 2025 - 14:07:33) Was Undecided, excellent.
