Ailsa at Where’s My Backpack? wants us to show some symbols... This one has a funny story – at least for me. The thing is, that when you often see a certain symbol for something you easily get ”stuck” with its meaning. Everybody knows what this sign means. In Scarborough I was told another one…a much more funny and inventive one. Maybe you all knew it before, but I certainly did not. This is, a man struggling with an umbrella.

Or a man tripping on the construction and falling on his umbrella!
OK, a third one just arrived!

ha ha..a sign that says ‘Rain Ahead’?? 😀
Yeah…wouldn’t it be fun?
Brilliant choice – and I like the idea with the umbrella .. that should be for Belfast too – because on windy day, nearly every day .. people was struggling with their umbrellas. Also people with umbrellas are – pure DANGER! they don’t take any consideration to others and the umbrella is a lethal weapon. Great post.
Thanks! I love the idea! That’s the way to look at things – from more than one angle.
Yeah, it still makes me smile when I look at it in that way 🙂
If only what lay ahead was a group of people flailing around with their stuck umbrellas…..it might not slow the traffic down quite so much….and it would certainly be a more entertaining sight!
Absolutely! What fun!
I got it! It took me quite a while…..
Yes! it’s just like looking at those faces you can see in different ways – drawings. I guess you have them too.
OH 🙂 Ann-Christine I can’t think why I have never seen that very familiar roadwork sign in quite that light … I’m so laughing here … marvellous …
That’s what I did too – thinking how lost we sometimes are in old concepts and thinking! To have the mind of a child would sometimes be very refreshing.
Very funny. It would be perfect for our windy Wellington.
😉
Well. Of course, it is.

Looks like he’s digging to me!!
Yes, but I can see the other one too…
