Warning: Beware of pear

Oh dear because of the compensation culture, these Town hall chiefs might have gone a bit far. Look at the picture, you'd think this was a crime scene but no. It's to save you from being hit on the head by falling pears.

"I was just walking through the park, and as I was walking under this pear tree with pears all over the ground, I got hit on the head, now I have constant headaches, I can't work, my wife left me and I have a fear of fruit now"

Would the pear have 8 grand on it though, or would it have to take out a loan?

Heh, only in western society are you rewarded for being completely stupid.

That advert is on at the minute ... 'I was putting up a satellite dish, but someone gave me the wrong type of ladder ...'

Heh ... eventually we'll have claims in a war scenario.

Yeah, I'd take the cash, but as I don't really agree with it, I'd use it in as ethical a way as possible...

Paying off my unethical student loan.

To tell you the truth yes - I could do with the cash and if some court is stupid enough to award it why not.

I'm surprised the law hasn't been tightened up with regards to these stupid claims.

Though it does bring up an interesting question, if you were to get hit on head by said vicious pear and you could get 8 grand from it, would you do it?
