From a book about 1920’s Britain, profanity and poison pen letters, it mentions that soldiers used the f***-word so frequently that it was ‘Merely a warning a noun is coming...’, and has the transcript of a letter a woman sent to one of her neighbours, which has some spectacularly colourful profanity!

I lived in Littlehampton once. It didn't drive me to write Poison Pen Letters though.

Ah, Littlehampton. Or LA as it's known in these parts. It hasn't improved in the last 100 years
