Having served in the forces and prison service before coming into this game, I have seen banter/bullying at it's worst and best. As someone who enjoy's Banter at work (not when your up a tree working) It makes the day go faster.However that said it needs to be monitored to make sure it does not become bullying if it does then the person/persons doing it need a quiet word ALONE away from the other guys/girls and some ground rules put in place by the team leader. the thing about banter is that it all comes down to how thick skinned the team around you are (in the army if someone was calling you every type of tosser under the sun he was your best mate) so it comes down to personal perception I.E. is it banter or bullying the person it's happening to can only answer that. as some can take it some can give it but not take it.

If you can see it having a bad effect on someone then it needs to be addressed first by talks one to one then if needed as a team IMHO.

I think when you get over 40 you seen and heard it all at least twice. Also you can spot the difference between banter and two people in a team that dont get on and use it as a weapon.

And yes there is times were you need to keep your whits about you but theres times you need banter to pass the dull and boring days.

What a brilliant read at 4.30 in the morning. Vintage thread. So Python, a year later, what happened in the end?
