RAB you pedant cant you understand that I was speaking figuratively to illustrate the backwarRAB thinking of the BBFC.
But in fact it WAS 2000 when hardcore was actually let out in the UK - that was and still is for sale in sex shops only.
2000 is the 21st Century and most of the rest of the world had legal hardcore decades before us.
If all you can do is pedantically pick out figures of speech then pop over to the Big Brother forum- you'll be right at home
