Where was that?? You have to tell us.

I had a banana the other day, I couldn't stand it any longer, and I too went mad and splashed out. I bought two of them.

I might even buy some more one day.

Had to laugh yesterday. I was finally unpacking another box (only been 18 months after all) and inside a bag was a receipt from tesco. Bananas £1.29 kilo. I wish, and granny smiths only £1.39 a kilo oh I dream. Has anyone noticed that the apples here are always battered and bruised. I glare at the lady on the checkout if she throws my apples about.

Eldest daughter doing the usual sex ed at school this term, came home on Monday to say they were putting condoms on fruit today, but the teacher told them they were not to use Bananas as they were too expensive - daughter looked confused when hubby and I fell about laughing
