The landlord is quite right! I think that there is a time and place for "robust" language and on occasion, for example certain work places. I have known some pretty "robust" language on the farm and on the parade ground in my time, I have even been on the receiving end of some of it! But, where the general public are concerned then there is no need whatsoever for them to hear that sort of language. We must also remember that in the UK that the Landlord of a public house(pub) is responsible for keeping an orderly establishment by law, it is, also, in his financial interests to keep an establishment that is welcoming for all his customers. Discretion in a public place is the watchword and knowing when to moderate one's language is part of that. What is said at home, or even at some work places, is another matter entirely.
Just my opinion, for what it is worth.
