My big sister and I went to see The Jersey Boys in Leicester Square, London last Tuesday - FAB music and interesting story line but I felt that there was soo much swearing (effing at least 2 dozen times) and it really spoiled it for me. I was rather surprised - not shocked but surprised that it was even allowed. We attended the matinee performance which would be more inclined to have children in the audience! How sad that I now question as to whether I would go see another musical - or live show for that matter, let alone take one of my grandchildren. Perhaps the shows need to be rated just as films are. If that is the case, The JB would definately be an 18 in my opinion!
I met up with my 3 girlfriends on Wednesday of last week. Joan and I have been friends for 52 years and I have known Rita - J's cousin almost as long. Pam is a friend of Joan from school days. We had a lovely day at Rita's...relaxing and chilling in the late August sunshine.
The Bank Holiday weekend was spent with father in law. He has Alzheimers so a lot of what was said was repeated - either by us or him! We did take him out on 3 out of 4 days, so he did get to enjoy his surroundings.
So peeps...did you enjoy your Bank Holiday weekend? It's amost time for the children to go back to school, so for you mums, it's routine time again. Enjoy your last days of the holidays.
Toots for now.

Sounds like you've been having fun meeting up with friends & family.
My niece & her husband are over from Germany for a week and I caught up with them yesterday evening - I'll be taking my niece craft shopping on Saturday before she returns home.

You should write and complain, I agree with you 100 %, it does spoil the show. I hope it doesn't put you off, so many great shows out there.
Glad you've had a glad you've enjoyed your summer.
Shame the show was spoiled for you - they ought to , at the very least warn before you buy tickets.
Very quiet here- I am the one going back to school and children off to college :) next week. Lots to do before that though :)
I so agree... some warning absolutely should have been given beforehand as to any profanity involved in the production. What a terrible shame it ruined the musical for you!
My mum used to drag my dad to shows all the time... and he used to complain all the time about it too *lol* That was until they went to see Barnum - he loved it so much, it changed his mind about musicals and shows from then on.
Here's hoping your next show will be perfect.
Sounds like you had a lovely time. I think matinees should be more inclined towards family friendly.

That does surprise me with the swearing - I have often talked with my Dad about us going to see that show and I don't think either of us would go in expecting any swearing - I think you're right you know, why aren't shows rated I wonder.
Been ages since I saw a show - think the last one was Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (again with my Dad and the kids, think he was more mesmerised than they were *g*)
