Falling pears.
The quote from council spokesman Alan Stuttard is priceless.
What we are interested in is to make sure young kids don't get frightened or hurt.Frightened? By pears? Good to see someone is looking out for the interests of the achladiphobic.
Some may find this another example of daft nanny-statism, but not I. Worcester council gain nothing but praise for their valiant efforts, since it is clear that if they can spend precious taxpayer money on this sort of thing, then Worcester must be the cleanest, crime-free and prosperous town in all of Britain. Otherwise, the council are just a load of scatterbrained, lawyer-whipped bureaucrats who have their priorities shoved right up their fundaments.
And that isn't likely, is it?
