On their own , almost certainly not , so no assault took place. If at the time you were clearly angry and were walking towards someone in a threatening manner , then an assault could have taken place. They could also constitute a public order offence (s5 , s4a and possibly s4) and , assuming that you didn't actually pronounce the **s but "uc" instead then you would in a public place have used obscene language contrary to the town and police clauses act of 1847 |

Perhaps that's just because it sounds different in Scotland. I mean, sometimes I have to really concentrate to understand what James Naughtie or Kirstie Wok is wibbling on about. Never have that problem with John Humphrys or Jeremy Paxman, though. MM |
