I'd have gone straight to the police if I was that guy, that's fucking horrific, you broke his nose and took his money.
Seriously, that's scary that you would do that, you could have just, you know, not fallen for the con and bared him from your pub, but instead you violently assaulted someone and stole money from them.

If this happened how you said in my local, I personally would have shopped you into the police, I can't stand unnesersary voilance.

Living in a pub is much like being in prison....
....you can't let the punters see a glimpse of a weakness, or, they'll all take the mickey. Granted, my actions were a little excessive, but to this day the story is retold by the remaining barstaff. If you've ever had your wages docked because the till has been short then you'd know what I'm talking about. Essentially he was trying to rob me of my wages.

And what if he'd reported you for assault?
Why didn't you just tell him to fuck off?

Are you a retard?
Man with bloody nose: Excuse me officer I was attempting to steal from this publican and he punched me on the nose.
Policeman: Are you a retard?
Me: Just call the pub up the road, he stole from them only minutes earlier.
Man with bloody nose: But he punched me?
Policeman: You're nicked.

That is exactly how the law works, yes.

( BraynDedd Natasha Kaplinsky's labia majora, Thu 13 Oct 2011, 17:03, closed)

Yes, because the man would tell the police he was trying to steal from you, wouldn't he?
Jesus.

You would have both been taken in I'm afraid
And chances are you would have come off worse as there's no way you could've proven that he tried to scam you or the other pub. He, however, would have a pretty good case against you for assault. Soz.

It would have been incredibly simple for the scammer to say it was an honest mistake and return the money to the first pub, and that'd be that.

Quite
While our handsome hero relaxes in a cell nearby, he'll be off trying to scam another pub further down the road
( Two Hats 🎩🎩, Thu 13 Oct 2011, 17:09, closed)

I'm willing to bet that if he attempted something like this now the scammer type would most likely stab him up a bit.

& of course this fellow who was trying to rip you off
is going to be completely honest & straight-forward with the police.

Nope - still no excuse.
I've worked in some pretty grimy shitholes, in some of London's many arseholes, and been warned similarly of people approaching to try this (it's a really old con). I just simply refused or instructed the staff to refuse them service - very simple. No need for this over-the-top reaction at all, and if one of my staff did this I'd fire them on the spot.

As I said.....excessive I know......
...also, I was the landlords son, so technically un-sackable!
( The only Dave is pushing things forward, Thu 13 Oct 2011, 17:09, closed)

Had one of the other staff done this, would your parents have sacked them?
I think so.
( BraynDedd Natasha Kaplinsky's labia majora, Thu 13 Oct 2011, 17:12, closed)

I'm starting to sniff bullshit here.
No one's unsackable - son or no.

Honda Accords aside, this story just makes you look like a violent, stupid, fight-hungry chav as opposed to the hardman Sherlock Holmes that's clearly intended.
