About 15 years ago bloody was as rude as F***.
Now its not really considered a swear word. You can say it on some children's programmes.
ITs just a mild exclamation of surprise - bloody hell.
Sometimes its still combined with the F word for emphasis as in bloody f***ing hell.

yes, a mild cuss-word, not only in England, but also Australia and New Zealand
it can be used in many of the same cases f***ing can be used.
If you think it is amusing that bloody is considered a swear-word, we think it is amusing that damn or Hell are considered swear-words.
Also the word Fanny is used for the buttocks in USA, but it has a much ruder meaning in British English.

Not as much as it used to be these days,
There's a lot worse...... It's still looked at by many people as a true swear word, but it's quite commonly used regardless...
According to wikipedia, it's not even in the top 10!
