The quickest way to get into a fight in a 1960s Australian pub | RetroFocus

- Опубликовано: 4 апр 2019
- 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).

When I emigrated to Australia from Ireland I found the Aussie pubs very friendly places, the number of times I have been told to join in the company and not drink alone, great people indeed, and if you wanted work, go into a pub and ask around, you won’t be out of work long!

Johnny 5 what is it with turning the glass upside down? I’ve never heard of that being an open challenge to a fight.
codenamecordon me neither but it’s funny as hell and it works
codenamecordon flipping your glass means fight, on the bar means refill, on its side means you’re done. I’m 22 worked in a bar and all this is pretty common knowledge.

In New Zealand, turning a glass upside down means you've finished your drink. But I admit that we lack the rich, sophisticated culture of our Australian neighbours.
Play for sheep stations and sloppy seconds 😂

Quit lying, your government don't let you drink.

When this was filmed, pubs had to close at 6pm by law. People finished work at 5pm. They had to get an entire night's drinking done in that hour. Nobody's gonna waste time talking to the seppo until they've already had a skin full.

Never saw one fight in that pub during my time there haha great place, actually. $3 schooners of Toohey's back then. Many nights turned into many sunrises knocking those back.
For anyone wondering, turning your glass upside down in some cases meant you were done drinking but in Australia meant you could fight anyone in the pub. So if you did it you would gave to be prepared to fight a lot of other pub goers that were the 'toughest'.
I would have guessed it was to signal you were done drinking and about to go home.... but you were meant to be the one getting the next round. And well, that deserves a floggin in any country.
@@njords77 upside downs fight, on its sides done drinking.
also when you finish a beer in south oz you lay your glass on its side...
I’ve always thought the bell ringing meant you were done drinking
In Greece the old timers flipped the glass like you said, when done drinking; so that the other fellas can not serve you more wine. Australia version sounds more fun!
That yank is Gerald stone who contributed much to Australian television. A lot of those blokes he interviewed grew up or survived during the great depression then served in ww2. Many of the best years of their life were very tough.
I'd say WW1
@Corn Flakerr0 A few of them look like they're in their 70's. Possibly world war 1
@Corn Flakerr0 I met quite a few when I was young. They were humble men who did not complain much about their lot. In those days it was seen as your duty to serve. My grandfather was hit by a machine gun bullet at Ypres. We still have it after he kept it as a souvenir. He never really recovered from the wound and died in 1967.
@@shaunely63 They were all in their 30s. Hanging out in Australian pubs can really put some miles on you.

The camera filter and frame rate helps with that illusion.

@@derryk1 cheers was trying to place him!
Because they are all actors. it's all a simulation, people. there are no generations. history, ancestry, timelines - it's all made up, it's Truman show. We are lab rats for some big project.
The guy who says “who wants to?” With a smile on his face is the guy you want to avoid
No it's a lost Australian expression, slang for "Why would you want to?"
LOL,...He was questioning the prospect, as indicted by the intonation of his voice.
"..a fight?..Who wants to?"
As in why would someone want to get into a fight.
In Australia that translates to "why would you want to?"
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
@@horatiooo371 it’s well alive. ‘Who wants to do that” is a common variant

Man, Mr. Rogers was pretty bold there at the end.

"You've played knifey spooney before!"
I once met Jack Sharman, the brother of Jimmy of bare knuckle tent boxing fame. 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.
My old man boxed at shows in Sharmans tents & others....last one l saw was in Darwin in the 80s..at their royal show.
Knew about a guy who once rode on horse back for 2 weeks to fight a local brawler who had a big reputation. This guy was ploughing the fields behind a team of draught horses when the guy rode up to him and said are you such and such? if so I've ridden for 2 weeks to get here to fight ya! The guy quickly said, go back into town and when you can beat all the local brawlers come back and see me! That bloke never came back, true story and a great one.
Great advice
Explain
@Abdualziz the fighter with the big reputation wanted the challenger to prove himself by defeating lesser local men. presumably the challenger was unable to do so
Sounds like a load of BS to me

@Steve Campbell blacks
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.
0:28 only known footage of The Somerton Man 🤣
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.
I genuinely don't understand that ending at all.
is it a plane? is it a bird? nope it's the ending going straight over your head
He did it in a bar with only ladies around. No chance of getting punched.
MrAnperm I wanted the ladies to start fighting him lol
Chick on the left was game!
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.
It’s funny how he said he was going to do it, then as soon as he turned his glass upside down. the film went to him in another bar with 2 ladies. That’s cos he got the crap bashed out of him lol.
I grew up in a pub in South Africa in the 50s/60s. Loved to see the fights in the two local pubs. A German tourist wanted to book in one night when a chair came flying across the room. He grabbed his hat and shouted "mein got, vorts than the vild vest" as left running. Horses were ridden into pubs ..miss the good old days. No fights on rugby fields either - sad
I remember the men's only bars & the lady's bars in Durban South Africa. The lady's had to stay outside and scream for their husbands to come home, lol. Lot's of good punch ups. I miss those days.
30 odd years ago I courted a girl who lived in Randfontein. We were walking down the main street on a Saturday morning & went past the local ( I seem to recall it was the Leopard Hotel, could be wrong) as the guy was sweeping the teeth onto the pavement from Friday night.
Scary town.
If only there’d been some Aussies in Poland in 1939, would have saved the whole world a lot of trouble
Haha. Love it 😊
I love Australia. I was in a few places like that back in the 80s. Good people. Had a good ol' time!
Men looked more masculine back then, the WW2 generation were tough as nails, not so much these days.
the reporter went on to become the founding producer of the Australian version of 60 minutes. He is also remembered for his mixed relationship with Kerry Packer and wrote a book after Packer's death called 'who killed channel 9?' His name is Gerald Stone.
Turning one's glass upside-down is a true, very old Glaswegian tradition in Scotland. Obviously, it's travelled well.
Is it meant to cause offense? Interested to know.
@@Get_me_money it’s a universal challenge in most pubs, can be offensive if the blokes serious

I just read that it means you're calling them weak as piss... go figure.. first time I've heard of it and I worked in a few pubs and hotels over the last 25yrs..
In Glasgow turning your glass upside down on the bar actually means you're ready for gay sex.
“The quichest way, is down, wallamallooo” hahahahaha
This reminds me of some of the pubs around Hull. The old school scrappers still exist there. Great characters and down to earth people.

Thank you everyone for preserving this 👍
My father was locked up in australia in 1968 and did 9 months hard labour after going ashore as a british seaman and getting into some trouble with an Irishman who was also on his ship!
Nearly 50 years later I managed to track down Samuel Ewing Black of Belfast and he made contact with me.. the first thing he asked his if my father still liked a drink lol. My father wasn’t a man who looked for trouble but grew up with 3 brothers in a maritime village so fighting was the norm… old Samuel told me that without my father he wouldn’t have lasted as my father took care of any trouble!
They were told never to return to Australia and came home as distressed British seaman on a ship bound for Hull in the UK and that was last time they seen each other! Hard days! ⚓️⚓️

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.

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.
back when blokes in Sydney actually sounded like country blokes and had some balls
