Some of the users here have the same issue today- but I'm in Berkshire. We've got some offices in Geordieland though

I think that's because when you say "carp", you're being generic, whereas with "trud", you're singleing out an individual log which is not fair.

Saw a funny one on The Register or somewhere once where a Google captcha on the page like the one you sent spelled out minge. They had obviously not used a UK profanity filter

Mods!!! Mods!!!! Look what ferret said!!!!

Oh, wait...

It's a poor imitation of SKA as far as I know.

Seems to be working fine though.
