You remind me of the 4 Aussie fathers I, met in a Pub in Sydney, when on R&R in Mar. 70. They talked the same way " shrtn da txt , thos ho no wll figr it ot , thse wh dnt no dnt matr , eh . "
But the more beer I drank that they refused me from buying my own, the easier it was for me to understand them. Drank till the time the pub closed, If I remember it was 10 or 11 PM. Then we moved to Kings Square for the rest of the night.
One of the reasons that I remember that Pub, is that the women and men were not allowed to drink together in the same room, they were separated by a wall, and the door to them was guarded by the Pub Master.
..
From one interaction , I remind you of that ........
I'm pleased you had a great R&R , you'd have ended up at King Cross I'd reckon .
My Dad was regular army , Royal Australian Army Medical Corps .
He did 22 years , toured Vietnam with 5RAR in 1969-70 , he was the RAP Sgt at Nui DAt , in the Phuc Toy Province .

Here he is there outside the RAP , he's on the right , the doctor is on the left .
Back the 70's maybe the women weren't allowed in the front bar as it was considered too rough for them .
Did those drinking partners of yours dislike men giving women a hard time too ?
