on site banter
When I was an engineer, the best jobs were those out on site with the lads, away from the poisonous (dwarf) foreman’s eyes and left to get on with the job as we seemed fit but mostly enjoying a bit of a joke and good conversation that would mostly be found with a pint in hand. The past few days working over the water at thuds brought back that on site camaraderie but mostly were the conversations that made for a breath of fresh air, nowadays such conversation and humour would find me with the no job and on the front page of the papers. Not to say that what we were talking about was anything which would deserve such treatment but more that working in a profession that is constantly safe guarded and politically correction is madness it allows you only to think in a very small quiet place and hold your opinions close. Surely two sides to every argument should be heard and mostly opinions voiced without judgement or character assassination. Then it got me thinking who are the fascists now?

Did the princesses join in the conversation?
they start them off and always have the last word, thats the way when your in charge.
Are you trying to say we are not an inclusive and sensative workplace?...we do try to take the piss out of everybody.
Couldn't agree more.When I had my own company I used to tell the guys they would be sacked if they didn't look at porn on the internet.This allied to the Elf and Safety Wallers makes for a very miserable, almost fearful workplace.Now I've heard that in a local school, kids are only allowed to play togger with a sponge football.Surely getting a wet casey in the kipper or the bollocks is all part of growing up.
