Well, on the first count, I never said Britons are actually eloquent and clean mouthed.
On the second count, you just don't get to hear our varied and inventive swears in England because that kind of thing doesn't make it into the movies. Just like about the only Britain-specific profanity that makes it to the US is "bloody" "wanker" and "tosser."
