Our weekly round-up of interesting and outlandish information, collected from the corners of the charity sector.

It’s a crap map. No. Really it is.

So Americans love to swear, it seems. Research carried out by a guy called Jack Grieve and distributed on Twitter reveals that people in the interior of the US appear to be pretty polite, whereas those who live on the east coast are real potty mouths. Also that people in different parts of the country demonstrate quite varied terminological scatological preferences.

Or they talk shit in different ways.

Anyway, the sector link here is a bit tenuous. But it’s published by Aston University. That’s a not-for-profit, right? And it was drawn to Diary’s attention by David Kane, research guru of NCVO, so that makes it totally legit?

Here, for your elucidation and enjoyment, is a map of the US showing their propensity to use the word “fuck”. Orange for the sweary marys, blue for the prim tims.

Do you have any friends left?

Prince Philip has been dropping a few F-bombs recently too, most notably when he told a photographer “Just take the f****** picture,” at a Battle of Britain anniversary reception.

This week, though, he was winding people up at Chadwell Heath Community Centre.

He told off the community centre chairwoman for using the word “community” too much – to which she responded, pretty reasonably, that it was quite hard to avoid. Then he asked a professional fundraiser “do you have any friends left?” before asking service users “Who do you sponge off?”

Not bad for an afternoon’s work.

Not just in schools, either

Peter Kyle, former deputy chief executive of Acevo, has wasted no time on advocating populist measures to drum up support since he got into Parliament as the Labour MP for Hove and Portslade.

Society Diary is voting for introducing the first of those in newsrooms, too. And relationship teaching is fine as well.
