Only thing is he did say he was looking for a women to do his cooking and cleaning lol so not a modern man. But him and that other guy are poles apart, he's really nice and patient with me
Get in there Stacey! He might be a rich old dude with a heart condition!

No the nice guy isn't a drunk but his comments were old fashioned. Its the rude guy that's a drunk. He made a comment about Scotland tonight but that was it. One of my other favourite guys said he wanted to hit him when he spoke to me like that my first night. I had a feeling he did because he walked out.

 

Tonight was better - I still made some muck ups but I feel slightly more confident and can chat to people more. They were all taking the piss out of my accent tonight even the Irish guy!! Apparently my word six sounds like sex so you can imagine how that went.

 

 

Just proves you don't need to be from the "old world" to be old-fashioned.

 

That pub sounds like a soap opera, or "soapie" in the making.

 

You're becoming a good bar waitress - you care about your clientele even if you can't stand some of them. Getting any good tips yet?

It used to be called 'breaking in the barmaid' at least in my parts. I recall a 'new' barmaid would be the highlight of the night (week perhaps?) Most the young blokes would want to check her out and some see how far they could go. I'm sure it would be totally unacceptable these days some of the things said, but seemed the 'norm' to those involved.

 

Is that why they always ordered the bottles from the bottom shelf? I thought they were just cheap.

One would hope so. Hopefully things have changed over the years as seldom enter a country pub these days, besides have never worked in one in Australia, but from what I've witnessed and experienced in the past, I'd have said at the time, pretty much the roughest and most uncouth ever come across.

Obviously I don't mean all, but over a duration I can't say I hold particularly fond memories of a number of country pubs experienced at the time.

 

What, they didn't stock the Guardian?

Nah I don't think he's rich lol and he has children because he told me his daughter has the same name as me. My other favourite is so nice and if I was 20 or 30 years older lol. Think he's in his 50's. He's really interesting compared to the others. Travelled loads and his parents were £10 POM's. He was the one that said Aussies just like slagging off everyone's accents.

 

And no I haven't had any tips lol. Miserable old buggars. They put their change in a charity tin
