Well other than the dude trying to sell cans of beer in the Nana Car Park last night for 300B a can, it was pretty dry.

It's reassuring to know that the police will be out in numbers, maintaining honesty, lawfulness and integrity in their usual admirable fashion!

Not sure that's very reassuring at all????
