Here is a thread about different pub culture.
Unfortunately some of these traditions are dying out, but in some small country towns, you still see them.
In some states in Australia if you place your empty glass right way up on the bar, you'll get a re-fill, when you are finished drinking you lay your glass on its side on the bar and the bar person knows not to re-fill it for you.
However if you put your glass upside down on the bar, you are signifying that you up for a fight and will take on anyone.
