I read the ramsey biography at the weekend, Apart from the usual, my dad was a drunk and beat me mum, we had no money, me brothers a druggie self pitying tosh, it was well written and got across how frantically hard the guy works, and that most of his success is down to Marrying a bird with a rich Dad.
He is not the arse the telly makes him out, and he has got very many loyal staff.
And as for the swearing, I am sorry but it's reality, if you work in a kitchen ( and I did from about 12 ) then this is what you can expect.
I never forget when I was about 6, we went on a school trip to the Barbican in Plymouth, me Father was a fisherman at the time, and we called him up on a ship radio out at Sea and I spoke to him in front of the class sort of crap, anyway, perfectly polite, then when they switched back to the on shore "skipper" it was Alright JOhn, * weather, * fish prices, * diesel gone up, * shit beer in the * Navy, did you see that * slag with Davey G, had his * wallet out * fleeced the * before he could say *.
Anyway, what I mean to say is that in some environments that is how people speak to each other, it's not normally on TV but it is a reality, and getting ever so prudish about it really means you have led an extremely sheltered life, if indeed you could even call it a life
