Apparently, one council canteen thinks that calling something Dick[^] is unacceptable.

The traditional suet pudding Spotted Dick has been renamed "Spotted Richard" at a council canteen - because customers keep making jokes.

Oh no, not jokes! The workplace - it's no place for brevity or humour, just seriousness and cardigan wearing! And also:

He said he had made an official complaint about the name change which he called "ludicrous" and said had cost money because a new label was needed for the food.

Will nobody think of the budget!?!? My god, if this ever gets out it'll be a worse scandal than MP's expenses!

I wonder why they didn't rename it Spotted Todger (or should that be Roger)? Ah Flintshire, 'twere a rare politically incorrect oasis when I were a lad growing up there - not that I really grew up as you may have deduced.

you're allowed a single guess as to what Pete (spelled "Piet" in Dutch) would mean around here. You'd change it back to "Peter" pretty soon... :laugh:

I'll say it. It seems they don't know Dick. Perhaps they could have gone more literary; "Spotted Moby" Or pulp novel: "Spotted Detective" Or historical; "Nixon"
