I never really mentioned that aspect in my little review. I wasn't really offended by any of that either. I think the book would have come across quite strangely if a lot of that wasn't present.
I even found the Mrs Boong reference quite amusing. There was something quite genuinely playful in its use and it failed to generate any shock or outrage on my part.
