The quickest way to get into a fight in a 1960s Australian pub | RetroFocus
Australian pubs once had a reputation the world over as tough, brawling, hell for leather places where you could get into a fight at the drop of a hat. Or could you? In the interests of sociological research, ABC’s Gerald Stone did a little survey.
This episode of 'This Day Tonight' aired in 1967 (exact date of transmission unknown).

I question how many people are Aussie who're replying. Without a doubt he would be keen to smash on. Not only that, "who wants" is a common saying in pretty rough areas south Perth, basically short for "who wants some/to" when talking about drugs or smashing people. Not only that, I'm mid 30's and I remember old boys in the pubs early 2000's who would talk about how in the early days it wasn't a good night if they didn't get into a fight or get a root. Nd if they got both then it was considered a great night

Jack had a handshake that was made of granite and fossils, but he was a sweet old bugger when I made his acquaintance, then in his late 70s. Rather than push her wheelchair the extra distance around the point on the flat road, he used to carry his elderly girlfriend over Kirra hill into Coolangatta without breaking sweat.

absoluttchamp interestingly the blokes in this video would not have had the word guys in there vocabulary. Sadly it's another adopted American word that has replaced our own slang ie bloke, feller (fella) , the men ,the team,the girls, the sheilas ,etc. Yank invasion without firing a shot.I myself seem to think it was probably in the eighties that I first heard it used in Australia, I personally frigging hate the use of Yank slang in this country. And yes I lived ,and drank in pubs in the era of this video.Also it wasn't common back then to get a fresh glass every drink ,if your glass poured with a good head you kept using that glass, the turning on the side was a courtesy to the barman the glasses was finished with and he could wash it, you usually said it's out nodding towards it. There was no bouncers mostly in those days the bar staff sorted trouble, lots of fights were actually taken outside anyway. A good barman if noticing trouble upturned glass etc nipped it in the bud before it got going. The bars were men only women had there own little room usually referred to as the Micky room.And don't think for one moment that trouble was carried out in a gentlemanly manner.pubs closed early so the six o'clock swill was something to behold, sly grogging on Sunday's was also a thing.back then even petrol stations closed on Sunday's and some public hols, Your local pub was generally a great place to catch up with mates (cobbers) etc and overall very friendly but when it turned nasty you had to watch your back. The best way I know how to start a pub fight is to be sitting in someone's seat when they return from taking a piss and refuse to move, guaranteed to work particularly if his missus or girlfriend is in the next seat.

I think the turned glass is a bit of an old wives tale. I got into fights with just a bump or a shove maybe over a pool game. I saw others just fight because they were drunk and stupid thinking they were 15 feet tall, their legs were so wobbly. You cant do it now seeing people run to their lawyers and sue you saying they were planning to be a model until their face was rearranged and now can only be a truck driver or something. I was 62 last time I biffoed a bloke, he was a German with a big mouth.

At the time all the bars were forced to close at 6pm. Consequently you had to down as much booze as possible before last orders. Due to the fact that most people would knock off work at 5 this meant downing half a dozen or so beers in a row. It was called the six o'clock swell.

I saw a bloke do that ( turn his glass upside down ) in the Pyrmont Hotel in Sydney. He'd had a few and been thrown out by his missus. I thought he was going to get clubbed. It is a great pub, but some proper old school hard men drink in there. While there was a few that were obviously not impressed, he got a few drinks bought for him, and told to settle down. Which he did.
I genuinely don't understand that ending at all.

back then there used to be a trough in front of the bar so guys could just flop it out at the bar and piss in it because there was so many people no one could move. At the end of the night they would just hose the floor and all the saw dust outside. So women had to sit in a different part of the pub. The ladies lounge thats where he was.
American turns his glass upside down in a hotel lobby bar surrounded by girls. Good one.
