As one who can, and occassionally does, swear like a drunken sailor, no, I
don't find his swearing offensive. In fact, I often find it hilarious and
most appropriate. I'd be reduced to using much the same language as Gordon
if I was to deal with some of these bozos. I have no idea where he ...or
his staff.... find these total losers, but I suspect they are picked just so
he can vent in his oh so graphic manner.

What really astonsishes me is the low caliber of skill displayed by some of
these so called "chefs". If one is to believe his show, half of the UK has
the worst, most untalented, hacks in the universe working at them. we're
used to watching tv and seeing all these fancy schmancy cooking shows with
the best ingredients and newly graduated academy chefs dying for a chance to
prove themselves and Ramsey presents a picture of the worst sort. Totally
clueless hacks that would be an embarrasement at a burger chain and who
seemingly don't have clue on how to cook, run a business, deal with ppl, or
even keep a day to day job! I sometimes wonder if the whole thing isn't
staged.
