I enjoy a good swear but I know where the line is drawn in the UK regarding daytime TV swearing
So imagine my surprise watching TV in Australia this weekend...interview with an Aussie commonwealth games athlete having just won:
"So can you let us know how you're feeling right now?"
"How do you think I'm feeling, I've just won the f***ing gold medal"
I nearly fell off the sofa. But not even a blink from the interviewer. Most definitely no "return to the studio and profuse apologies from the host broadcaster"
I asked a colleague here and he said it was fair dinkum and showed she had "ticker". Clearly a very different attitude to UK. Not saying who has it right or wrong, but interesting none the less
