The pub will be reopened by new people but this day every one celebrated the very last day of the present owners Pascale and Walter.

to carry a pub to its grave

a very weird processing in the old heart of the city of Mortsel
Reminds me of Tom Waits song: "in the neighborhood".

bless a pub with a toilet brush? that can work?

how about being inventive!
take a plastic basket, some water and a toilet brush LOL

don't ask me but this parade reminds me of the song of

the toilet boy is here again!

Inventive!
take 4 more of those toilet brushes and stick them upside down at the four corners of your car...
and look!

You never know who is looking over your shoulder!!

Life as good as you can! You never know who is looking over your shoulders! hehehe
