I WAS amazed and surprised that a school teacher in Wales has embarked on a one-man crusade to try and stop children from swearing.

Apparently, this teacher is convinced that our country has turned into a nation of "effers and blinders". I wish him the best of luck but I don't think we have an effing problem!
