1. Gone Pair Shaped. Park of a public park was cordoned off by worcester council in 2006 amid fears that the fruit from two pear trees might fall on someones head. No one had actually been whacked but a city council spokesman said "the precaution was cheaper than the potential legal cost if someone was hit on the head with a pear and sue.

2. Spotted Dick. A traditional british pudding on the menu for 150 years caused fainting fits at the checkout, Tesco decided in 2001. Spotted dick was banished from the shelves and re-admitted under the nice polite name of spotted richard. Spokeman David Sawday had to explain that "female customers were to embarrassed to ask our staff if they had spotted dicks".
