Couple rescued shortly before yacht sinks in South Pacific

[Isobel]

A couple had to watch their home and livelihood sink last month after rough seas caused significant damage to their yacht in the South Pacific. Luckily another yacht arrived on the scene in time to rescue the pair before the vessel foundered. http://www.ybw.com/news-from-yachti...tly-before-yacht-sinks-in-south-pacific-10938

We don't say "Good heavens" on this forum, we say "Great Scot!" or "By Jove!"

I must admit that privately I usually say "f..g hell" but what is wrong with " good heavens" must beat hell every time

Err its a new forum' in many ways, so just perhaps adopting 'good heavens' as a way of exclamation should be now encouraged?
