I was arrested on May 1, 2007 for displaying the legitimate term 'Bollocks' on a whiteboard - no charges laid - no surprise.

I was further arrested on May 5, 2007 for saying the legitimate term "Bollocks" - charges laid - bail granted to Westminster Magistrates' Court, Horseferry Road, Westminster, London on Wednesday, May 16, 2007.

I am to be brought to trial and possibly given a criminal record, my first in 40 years as a mother of three children, for this "Bollocks"?

It is my clear understanding that 'Bollocks' is a legitimate mainstream term that was found acceptable to be displayed in high street record shop windows as per The Sex Pistols - 'Never Mind the Bollocks' ruling of 1986. Apparently, HRH Prince Charles is quite accustomed to its varied usages within the public arena.

In old English, it gave reference to a priest and in common English slang, it gives reference to a "nonsense" as in "Never Mind the Bollocks" as argued by QC John Mortimer on behalf of the Sex Pistols.

I was wondering if the British public also considers this to be "Bollocks"?

Sincerely
Mrs C Sweet XXX
