We Brit's just don't seem able to use that kind of language so freely, it still seems really offensive over here, but then most of us still seem to apologise if we complain about something! 'Damn' and 'Blast' are` probably more likely to be heared!! Just dosen't sound as good and strong as 'fuck' does it?! Having said that 'Bollocks' is becoming a favorite of mine, very versatile! 
i hear a lot of "bloody hell" when i'm across the pond.
