U is for Umbrella

Remembering an old beer commercial (at least I think it was for beer) when I was a child, where the man in the ‘men at work’ sign, you know the one of a man digging into a pile of dirt, climbs out of the sign because it’s the end of the working day and it’s raining and goes for a pint in a nearby pub.

Men at work sign

What I loved about the advert and what makes me smile everytime I see a men at work sign now, is how the man takes the handle of his spade and lifts it above his head, pile of dirt and all and it turns into an umbrella. So everytime I see that sign now to me it looks like a man opening an umbrella, not a man at work.
