HP Sauce has taken a cue from its namesake - with a redesign of its famous label.
Bottles of the quintessentially British condiment, named after the Houses of Parliament, usually show the Elizabeth Tower - commonly known as Big Ben.
But the firm behind the piquant garnish has added scaffolding to the design to reflect current restoration works.
Heinz claims it is the first change to the butty booster's bottle design in 123 years.
Bosses at the US food giant revealed the change on the tower's 160th anniversary.

HP's history, potted

• HP Sauce got its name as it was reputedly served at Parliament
• It was rumoured the brown sauce, made with a malt vinegar base and a blend of fruits and spices, was much-loved by MPs in the early 20th Century
• In the 1960s and 1970s it became known as "Wilson's Gravy" because the wife of then prime minister, Harold Wilson, told The Times he would smother his food in it
• A bottle of centenary HP Sauce made for him sold for £250 in an auction this month
• The sauce was made at a factory in Aston, Birmingham, from 1875 when the Midland Vinegar Company was started by Edwin Moore
• Mr Moore bought the recipe from a Nottingham grocer who owed him money
• Heinz bought the company amid mass protests, and moved production to Holland with the loss of about 125 jobs
• The last bottle made in Birmingham came off the production line in 2007
• Its West Midlands factory - along with its famous HP tower - was demolished in the same year

The redesigned bottles will be available nationwide from June until the restoration of the tower is complete.
Reaction to the move on social media included a number of tweets praising the "clever marketing".
Others, however, pointed out that HP Sauce was no longer produced in the UK.
But for some, no amount of effective PR was enough to improve their opinion of the product.

You bring in a horde of people, obviously prices are going to escalate.

World's most expensive city, more expensive than Shanghai, HK, Tokyo and NYC.

HP is well known for cutting job and retrenchment since time immemorial. It wasn't even their first time or their 2nd time nor even 3rd time doing that in Singapore. Why so surprised?

Companies with too many foreign "Talents" are doomed to fail. PAP didn't see that coming or probably already did and didn't care.
