Bananas grow curvy because of the way they develop on the plant in relation to the sun.

Bloody stupid to alter nature!

Thankfully no one is trying, so that's good.

unfortunately there are civil servants employed to measure the curves on Bananas.

Are there ? How many?

Look a little closer. they are called the Horticultural Marketing Inspectorate now part of APHA delivering on behalf of Defra who are the policy lead. They deliver the regime that covers Bananas.

I think there is a chance that you may have a visit from an HMI inspector, on an occasional basis to check for correct labelling and standards. I don't think there are any employed just to measure the curvature of bananas.

So how do the bannanas come across the sea on a boat from were ever and are just ripe in the shops ready to eat ???

 

[Stivino]

Because they are harvested way before they are ripe.

Nope

Nope

Yes, not one of them ready to eat.

Be that as it may

But bannna ripening can be carefully controlled

When they are put on a boat to come here they are hung up in containers and a enzyme / gas is released ( or chemical) and this effectively puts the bannanas to sleep

When they arrive at there destination the reverse happens and they start ripening

Hitchens gave his view on the topic at the weekend. Aren't we doing well in the asylum rejection claims compared to Germany and the like.

Hitchens is a k-nob


Germany would have a higher rejection rate, it takes way more asylum claims, it’s also easier to get to than UK

Bananas are put in grades for the simple reason it sets standards in the industry for the supply chain.

Nothing to do with civil servants or EU “bureaucrats” setting arbitrary rules.
