| 828880 | 2009-11-10 19:29:00 | There was a bit of drama last night, right down the road from where I live. Seems someone with a machete went a bit nuts and caused an AOS callout. Cops/guns/cars all over the place, most unusual for quiet old Mot! www.stuff.co.nz |

People threatening to set themselves on fire, drownings, stingray attacks . Looks like a lovely, quiet place when you visit, but scratch beneath the surface, and you'll find a seething hotbed of intrigue and vice . . . :p |

| 828885 | 2009-11-11 00:17:00 | Nah there's actually quite a few pot heads around. You should see Saturday night when the PO and Dodgy close, there's no end of dust ups. All the Samoan and Tongan seasonal workers seem to get pissed and beat up the Maoris. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 828886 | 2009-11-11 00:19:00 | Prefect...... Boy, you're going back a long time. I worked in Nelson during the early 1960's and Friday and Saturday evenings outside the White Swan (since been demolished) were events worth travelling the 30 miles or so to enjoy. Particularly during the tobacco and fruit picking season and if you had mates to watch your back. | Scouse (83) | ||

Party central many moons ago was nanny pub then rage pub thinks its back to nana pub again. My Dad was a PO man. We are called river rats live up the Mot valley. Yeah the islanders do like to beat up maoris not polynesians bros the media make out. |

My Dad was a PO man. Nah, the Dodgy Ref is relatively new, on the opposite corner of the high street/greenwood street/pah street intersection that the PO is on. The PO has had a new lease of life recently, chap who managed a few large bars in aussie bought it and revamped it, it's not too bad now. |
