A man after my own heart. When a new couple took over my local pub last year, they split the village* beer drinkers down the middle by enforcing a no-swearing policy. Now all those men who can't say anything without an f*** every other word go to the other main pub, leaving the one I use to those who can. Trade has soared, and local people have been appearing who were never seen in a pub before. Winners all round. * Tideswell, Derbyshire, in case you're interested. -- Rgds Peter
