Walking past a nightclub in town recently I was reminded of an episode of Auf Wiedersehen, Pet where they decide to paint the communal site hut. After Barry convinces the others to redecorate he organises a vote to choose the colour. He uses a complex point-based voting system previously used by the West Bromwich & District Sunday Methodist Table Tennis League. It contains the classic scene where, after the votes are counted, the result of the ballot is that yellow wins by one point - despite no one selecting it as their first choice. It won because it received the most second-place votes, whereas the popular choices split the first-place points. When the others complain, Barry explains: "That’s democracy, Dennis. Everybody gets what nobody wants."
Anyway, back to that nightclub. When I photographed it back in 2020 it looked like this.
And now it looks like this.
I can't help wondering that at some point Barry may have had something to do with this.

The photo at the top of the page was taken in Sheffield last week. It's not a nightclub, but it is yellow. I like yellow, though it's not my favourite colour. However, it has its place.
The yellow nightclub was a photo you shared on your very first Photo Challenge post, when I was the only other contributor. How it's grown.
