I don't think so. I think it's hard to control that, because how?
00:05
I guess putting cameras maybe there and microphones.
00:09
Well, I'd be having to pay out all the time, wouldn't I?
00:12
And I don't think it's about swearing anti-social behavior.
00:15
I think it's about the bars selling cheap lager on the beach.
00:19
That seems to be when the culture changed in Broadstairs,
00:23
from it being family-friendly to being hordes of teenagers getting lagered up on the beach.
00:28
Possibly, if you carry on after a warning, that might be reasonable.
00:32
And it's always quite disturbing if you're on the beach and someone's shouting,
00:36
and if they're using bad language.
00:38
There's an element of free speech, but I suppose there's an element of what is acceptable swearing
00:43
and what isn't acceptable swearing.
00:45
Because saying blooming used to be called swearing, it's not anymore.
00:48
I agree, I think it should happen.
00:50
There's groups of youngsters, not just locals, they're coming down by train and everything,
00:54
and they're just causing trouble and swearing and just out of order, but just wrong.
01:02
We've brought up streets, weren't we, and not swearing or anything like that.
01:06
But it hasn't changed for years and years and years.
01:08
I can't see it changing at all.
