.....when would we have found out about gravity? The ever cautious Worcester city council has put up warning signs and fenced off the area around a stand of pear trees in a public park.
"Ian Yates, parks and cemeteries manager for Worcester City Council, said he was surprised by the furore because the signs were also put up last year after a member of the public requested them.
He said: 'If we felled the trees or closed the park I would understand the concern, but this is an adequate response. It's a smashing year for very leafy fruits and there are some sizeable pears and not everyone is going to be passing thinking that a pear might fall on them, especially children. These signs divert people away from the danger.'"
Is it just me or is "parks and cemeteries manager" a curious combination? What did he study at unie? The ever difficult horticulture and undertaking double major?
