The fourth "The Lady of Shalott" example would read as follows to a
non-graphical user:

   *** Medieval Nights ***

   Painting of a woman in a white flowing dress, sitting in a small boat.

   Join us for our medieval theme nights every Friday at 
   Boaters Bar,on the riverside, Kingston upon Thames.

This would be very confusing to say the least. The image is purely decorative;
the alt="" text should be empty.
