There were probably a lot of empties at the pub when it was closing time, too. 🙂 I’m running late today linking my post, but here it is:

Empty seems to the word of the year. Empty pub signs, empty glasses, empty pubs, empty stores, empty arenas, empty museums, empty streets, empty churches.

An obvious use of the word but not an obvious David-photo. I loved it though!

Luckily the people who made the signs hadn’t used what some people use, M/T. It’s not as if that is significantly shorter.

A good reason for not saying too much about a photo. Great to see the different impacts on people. It’s sad to me because I liked the old sign. It was photogenic and gave a great hint of the past of this ancient pub. But I also know a different side to this pub. Although closed at the moment a couple of young lads are borrowing the space to run a cocktail delivery company. Cocktails to the door! 😀
