I have seen a few goings on in that town as a kid an armed standoff between two rival gangs over who was going to have the pub as thier watering hole, some dude getting stabbed outside on the main street, then there was the armed hold up where the security guards dog was shot by the fleeing robber, punch ups out the back, dope dealers hanging out at the ATM at the postbank every thursday morning, me getting banned from going into the bottle shops after I got caught by a cop buying booze after making a bet with a mate that I could get away with it I am sure the prick was the one who alerted the bobbies. Glad I left that town all those years ago dunno what it is like now have not been there since I left at the age of 17 and hitch hiked to Auckland city to go live on waiheke for a while (yep I did a runner from home and my asshole of a brother, could have gone to my mums place in Auckland but didn't want to get the hell lecture).

The publican at the Ashurst pub used to clear the yanks out during the war with a cross cut saw flung from the stairs, only did it once I believe after that a threat was all it took

I tried searching the publicans name but it was before google so nothing showed up.

About 45 years ago the ashurst publican cleared the pub of a bikee gang by firing a shotgun though the ceiling.
I also recall when I was shepherding near mangaweka, I was in the Gretna pub in taihape and a guy road his horse into the bar. It was hell of a funny.

We used to visit a pub in SW England that had an ancient right of way through the middle of the main bar. It could only legally remain if it was used once a year at least. So the local fox hunt, complete with hounds, rode through on boxing day each year.

Tahr ironically that day I was heading from Masterton to PN with my vintage motorcycle on a trailer behind my car. I had just gone past the pub when I was surrounded by bikers all having left the pub after that incident. They rode all around me escorting me into PN. They stopped at the petrol station in Main Street and pinched their petrol. I kept going.

F off

I thought that F off was my name up till I was about 6 years old

Have to save picture to your files to read this.I scored this from the pub before it was gone.
