Now that can only be an objection to the word UGLY or the word BASTARD. Can you please tell me just what is offensive or indeed inappropriate to you about the use of either word, particularly in the context of my description of said car, or for that matter in context of the current use of the English language? If I think your reasoning is, in my view, sensible, appropriate and defensible I will offer an apology to your goodself, face to face if our paths cross in the future. Don.
