No more Spotted Dick jokes for this one Welsh town :( →
hman:
Also, LOL, there’s a town named Mold.
The traditional suet pudding Spotted Dick has been renamed “Spotted Richard” at a council canteen - because customers keep making jokes.
The new name for the dessert, with another alternative Sultana Sponge, has appeared on the menu at Flintshire Council headquarters in Mold.
The council said catering staff made the decision after “immature comments” and it was not a policy decision.
But one councillor described the move as “political correctness gone mad”.
Staff from the nearby court complex in Mold also use the council canteen.
Spotted Dick is a steamed suet pudding containing dried fruit, and is thought to have originated in the middle of the 19th Century.

Yes, I think you may have bigger image issues to deal with when your whole town is named after filth.
