A while back there was a record out by moloko called sing it back, we changed the wording to bring it back whenever it was a busy day, after a while the managers started to threaten to take us down the conduct code for incitement.

In anger or to admonish it would be a complete no no . In normal conversation if not excessive it would be passable. Depends on the context - most people swear don't they.

"All I have to do is stream" (Everly Brothers). Or "streamer, nothing but a streamer" (Supertramp). Also when it's pissing down someone will shout "How are we supposed to doorstep in ths weather"? Lord, the Manager laughs!

The Classic!

When everyone's up to their knees with Households and Parcels. All management obviously have selective hearing, but they're specially trained to ignore sarcasm & irony. or just too Thick to notice it!

i work in a pretty laid back delivery office in bristol, we have a reputation for being the best delivery office to work in in the bristol area, we are not the biggest office, just 30 or so of us, but everyone has their own personality, we got the joker, who has a one liner for everything, crap jokes but they make you laugh " its the way he tells em " we got the impressionist, whose impressions are of mike yarwood doing impressions, they are so bad they are funny, are office is mainly bristol city supporters, and we have the doom and gloom merchant, every saturday he says " i think we"ll get beat today today" he"s already tipped us for relegation next season, and of course theres our boss, you can go in to him with any problem and his stock answer is " best endeavours son, just do your best", but it is an office where if you have anything different about you it will get picked up and you need to roll with it, nothing is malicious but if you can give as much as you can take you will fit right in.
