Good job it wasn't a day when only LGI A&E is open I was under the impression that the place was closed [look on Flickr, it was boarded up], if the walking wounded were builders, it’s understandable, but my betting is they were scratters sitting outside the building having brought a picnic!

Was sad to hear this yesterday as it was the first place my old man ever bought me a pint.

A little story folks might find find amusing. It used to be called the cemetary tavern, and my gran. used to tell me how as a young lass in the late 1800s she was told by her mother to take a stillborn baby to the cemetary and ask a gravedigger to put it in a grave,(a common practice in those days). She met a friend on the way who invited her to go for a drink, which they duly did, baby in orange box put under the seat. After a few or more drinks she returned home, on being asked by her mother if all went well she realised she had left the baby in the pub, the proverbial then hit the fan. The past is a different country, they didn,t half do things differently.

Looks like it will end up another over priced car park!
