That's supposed to be a SONG... a work of fiction, not a banana packing manual.

Im PARANOID about this!
WHenever I buy bananas, I always hold up the bag in the shop and have a REALLY good look! You would all hear my screams if that happened to me, no matter where you are in the UK!:scared: I WOULD SUE!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Spiders drive woman bananas
Hello all
I don't want to BUG you people - but - this story is not as rare as the news reporters like to make out!
I have worked for Tesco's for 7 years now, not long after my first year there an 'immigrant' spider was found - yes you've guessed it - in the BANANA'S:scared:
Since then there have been a few others. Grapes are a problem too - I've had quite a few - white long legged spiders in some I've bought over the years - so be warned - or should I say scared, very scared
