Minding your P's & Q's?
This man has banned swearing from his pub. If you swear, expect to be thrown out.
Do you applaud him and think this is the way forward?
Should the patrons be allowed to swear if they want?

I applaud him...
I do swear sometimes (as you know) but not every other word as some people seem to think is required.
The pub I used to work in we would tolerate people swearing a bit, but if somebody was being loud and swearing a lot then we would have a quiet word with them and ask them to tone it down a little, which most people respected.

Gourmander, if you want to take the time to read my question again, you'll notice I haven't given my opinion either way. You haven't answered my question, hence the no stars. You're trying to goad me, but here's some news for you, I ain't no Legend or Knobby who will bite the bait to your childish and ignorant comments.
Everyone else, where do you draw the line? For example, say you were sitting in a bar with this rule and the person next to you dropped their drink and let out an expletive, should they be thrown out for that?

I think most of us would ignore a swear word if someone dropped thier drink or something, I am apt to utter a quick expletive if something happens. It's the people who swear constantly all the way through every conversation as if they have no other intelligent way of communication that drive most of us mad. Some chap on the train the other evening was talking about work and the language was incredible, it was really unpleasant. And no, I didn't have the courage to say anything to him.
Yes I applaud the Hotelier.... Swearing is unnecessary and really inconciderate in front of other people. I would also extend it to a NO breaking wind and belching policy too. I think breaking wind and belching are being seen as the in thing to do lately and it`s becoming more frequent, I was told at a young age that all this was disrespectful and I have told my children the same, now people think it`s funny but it`s downright rude and their attitudes towards it must change.
Schools should start reintroducing lessons on good manners.

I work in an off licence. I get really ticked off with customers using foul language. I let them know that I don't appreciate having to hear swearing when I'm at work and ask them politely to apologise for their (in my opinion) lack of respect towards me. If they continue to speak in the same manner, I remind them that I have the right to refuse to serve them. That usually does the trick! Some of the worst offenders now even say please and thank you!
I agree with majority on this one. Although I utter the odd swearword, it is usually in my own home, and certainly not in front of my kids.
Just take that Tina Malone who was recently on Big Brother. Did she really have to swear so much?
Swearing is number 2 on my list of things that are unecessary, and is only second to spitting in public.

There was once a TV comedy where an old chap in the corner of the pub would on upon hearing inappropriate language, call out "language, language, Ladies present"
A little behind the times now I am afraid, the young women of today can now use language that at one time would make a 'Docker' blush.
We have seen laws introduced to make it illegal to say certain racist words, why not also make it illegal to say certain swear words in public?
After all these words also offend me, but where is my protection?

I think he's good for banning it! Whenever you go into a pub (rarely nowadays because of the kids) its all these drunk people effing and blinding!!!
However, if someone really p1sses you off like those b1oody speed cameras I think you're maybe allowed a little bit of a ramble eh? lol 60 b1oody quid!!!!
