can tell you in 14 years I've never heard a "blimey" but I've heard my 
fair share of "bloody hells". Children's language nowadays is a lot 
more colourful! I suppose they wanted to keep the PG rating so they 
couldn't go too far and after all its a kids film! (Although, 
thinking back I did hear a blimey out in the country!)
