Small world ! My former partner, a British actress, was a very popular
sexy
solo music/comic act in downtown London music halls in her earlier years.
Every time we watched a Brit drama on Channel 9 TV she would provide a
running commenting on the private lives of all those famous folks she had
worked with. The vulgarity is indeed deeply embedded. After a few years
I had enough! Funny for laughs on stage but difficult on a daily basis.
Lots of fun, but..... On stage, she was one of the best performers I have
ever seen. Amazing. Could wrap any audience around her little finger.
Fabulous talent is hard to live with on a daily basis, especially when there
were two of us in the house.
