This sign by Ansell's Brewery of Birmingham is a slightly different take on the traditional Albion inn sign, focusing on the British Bulldog looking outwards, perhaps defiantly independent. Although captured on film in 1990, the sign dates from the 1980's and could reflect the political atmosphere of the period. The Thatcher regime was arguably Euro-sceptic and seemingly always at odds with the French and, in particular, Jacques Delors, the architect of the single currency . The newspaper famously ran with the front page headline of "Up Yours Delors." The Bulldog Spirit as depicted on this sign is commonly perceived to date back to the Second World War and Winston Churchill.
