Just heard that Great Apes spurn bananas in favour of parsnips and apples at this time of year - Radio 4, so must be true.

I've got a kilo + of parsnips from our local market yesterday, and just received another free 4kg bramleys from a friend with an excellent tree. I do still keep up on the bananas though. Happy Christmas everybody!

Happy Christmas everybody! Hey OG. Instead of roasting your parsnips in the oven, have you tried just sticking them under the GRILLER

Grumps - try plantains instead of bananas ... that should work |

Also heard on the same report that Great Apes (and I think you and others would see you as Great, Old Grumpy) like to fashion themselves hats and even jewellery to adorn themselves.

A Happy Christmas and prosperous 2015 to all members of the forum, from darkest Worcestershire (where no bananas grow....) Oh and many thanks to the Mods and Forum hosters. |

Never mind OG, the outlook for 2015 promises a vintage rhubarb crop. You might also be interested to learn that Sir Titus Salt a textile baron and philanthropist reputedly grew bananas and pineapples in West Yorkshire in the 1870’s. (Not for philanthropic reasons though as far as I know) Best wishes to all forum members for Christmas and the New Year from God’s Own County.
