The boomers are at it again
Don't know if it was your situation, but i remember they had a hold up and the guy shot into the ceiling, the problem was upstairs was a residence, owned by the bank, bullet went through and i think there was someone inside..
Hope Rig is out there trying to find out the latest regarding this prop Flanagan is looking for.
Exchange was across the street, it was a standard pub when I started, used to get a burger and a couple of schooners for lunch some times, and then closed for renovations for a little while… Oh my, what a difference when we went back after reopening as a gay pub. Quite the eye opener.
but he told me that the club tried to get Lord Ted a trade as an electrician… but he burnt down part of a house! (Something like that).
I did a little relief work between Edgecliff and Darlo, one week I had to go in and relieve the junior at Mascot. There was a robbery the week before and they got over the counter and shot their gun off into the air. There was a bullet hole in the ceiling above where the junior sat. Not sure if he/she ever came back to work at that branch.
Was there a story in one of the major newspapers of the day ? As I do recall a teller being interviewed when he gave chase to the sod with his photo on the front page .
We used to go to a different pub each day for a counter lunch and then do it all over again the next week.Exchange was across the street, it was a standard pub when I started, used to get a burger and a couple of schooners for lunch some times, and then closed for renovations for a little while… Oh my, what a difference when we went back after reopening as a gay pub.

The Hollywood was a customer, Doris herself (RIP) used to come into the branch with the money. Lovely lady. She had a habit of stashing the notes behind the beer pipes for safety, they were still freezing cold when I was counting them. Better than the deposits from the fish market up the street. Pee-yu! That was so crook.
We had Penthouse mag open up, and the girls used to come down and cash their checks from their photo sessions, or memorably the place getters from the Playmate of the Year, who I served.
Also memorable was the “Orange People” free love sect. You might remember one of their leaders Ma Sheila was interviewed by I think Willesee and said “tough titties” to him. Anyway they were customers and when the followers came in the branch they’d try and shock by pashing on in the line, girls with girls etc.
Robberies? One time every bank got hit day by day coming down from Taylor Sq. By the time we were next due everyone was getting nervous, (a couple of staff took sickies the day we were due), we had security guards & or cops within the branch ready to spring into action. But happily they missed us or stopped all together.
Doug Ryder was a Saints man and his electrician business was a customer. I asked him to get me Rockets jersey but he declined
It’s closed now I think
That’s just a rumourIt’s got me beat just how the subject off the thread is taken off track so easily ?
I blame it on all of those old timers .
bravado, or a healthy does of youth,stupidity
No, no interview, but I would have been up for that for sure , may have helped me with the girls
sorry

Nah keep it on here, this stuffs gold. I'm sure we'll be back on track when there's a rumour worth talking about.
