Like Prince Charles! I heard him say "who the bloody hell wrote this", when doing a guest speaker part for the weather for a local news station.IMO, if he can say it, anyone can
I do utter "sod off!" quite a lot. But regrettably despite my demure and/or angelic, elfin looks (ha!) I do swear like a sergeant-major sometimes (If you've seen "Full Metal Jacket", you'll know what I mean!)
And being of South African origin, I do sometimes utter a bit of Afrikaans at people (usually at other drivers) - but obviously being the "lady" that I am (as well fearing a mod jumping all over me, lol) I will refrain from repeating any here
But I don't think even they have anything similar to "Bloody Hell".
The mod is close friends with two Afrikaaners from PE and knows a lot of South African slang and profanity. That said most people don't. Just remember to be careful how you refer to your bokke .
I do like SA just now, now, now now, right now means of time spans, because they don't make sense.
As far as bloody hell I use it rarely, more frequently I'm more like 20 seconds into this clip. https://youtu.be/ZDaDEi9KF0E
Yesterday I heard Bloody Hell and Bloody good, both within a few minutes, spoken when he was making "tea" (dinner). I'm leaving for England in a week so I'll be spying on a lot of them to hear how they talk!

"tea" (dinner)? Bloody Hell, never heard that when I lived in England.
My Welsh father, now deceased, said it all the time, but, it was the first swear word (the bloody part was what he considered the worst!) that I got cuffed for trying to say when I was a kid.
Could be. In my wife's family it was breakfast, lunch, tea and supper.
Someone else says supper? I was embarrassed to admit it but where I live it's supper. Dinner is Sunday or something fancy in a restaurant or fancy dinner at someone's home. But I live in New England and we seem to be different.
I think the use of "tea" to mean supper is a northern thing. Just the same as, "The clock were slow." (which I just heard.)
