What Does Her Majesty's Government Intend To Do About The Imminent Banana Shortage Due To Closed Air Space?
Millions of people like a banana. Soon they are going to have to face the dissapointment of having run out. This is because the volcanic ash in our airspace means planes cannot import fresh fruit from countries that are lucky to be hot enough to grow bananas. This is a serious situation (backed up by statistics which show the banana is the UK’s favourite fruit).
In all the talk of people stranded abroad, there has been no mention of this issue. To be fair, only about 150,000 Bristish people are stranded. Politicians, aviation authorities, and travel industry bosses are working round the clock to think how to get those people home. Look at the numbers: 150,000 versus… the Millions of people who like a banana.
What I am saying is rather than send a Royal Navy vessel to Spain to collect folk, why doesn’t the government send it to the Windward Isles or Costa Rica to get some bananas. This would be completely in line with important government policies such as "5-a-day".
I also think the politicians need to remember that there is an election coming up. Who is fighting for the cause on this important issue? Who has mentioned it? No one!! And yet, when I look around the staff room at my work, nearly everyone has a banana. If our government really wants to connect with the people it cannot afford to ignore simple home truths like this.

Promote home grown fruit.An apple a day etc etc
Ban banana boats what good have they done the UK
If a shortage of bananas is your main concern in life I feel sorry for you. Good job you were not alive in World War two to experience rationing of just about everything.
They can eat apples for now.
Do what we did before the advent of the aeroplane. Ship them over. I expect contingency plans are already being made as the export of bananas from the Caribbean is of great importance to their countries economy.
Bananas give me pure wind , whatever!!
I’m sorry to say, but a banana shortage is not serious.
Yes, bananas may be the UK’s favourite fruit. Heaven knows, I’m one of those who class bananas to be my favourite.
However, no-one is going to die for lack of a banana for a few days. Indeed, bananas are fairly new to the UK – mid 20th century they arrived and got more popular. We survived perfectly fine before they arrived at these shores.
Having no bananas will not even affect the 5-a-day thing. There are plenty of other fruits that can be used.
If there are no bananas, then just think how good that first banana will taste once they are back on the shelves!
They are going to paint cucumbers yellow. No-one will notice.
I say..no bananas? I suspect we shall have to muddle through, old boy. Chin up..pip..pip!
time we grew our own, seeing how goods are imported lets start finding ways and im sure there are, of having our own British bananas. And they can be as curved as they like, feck Brussels if they dont like it, too bad
Considering those who are starving to death and how a crumb would be a banquet the lack of bananas pales into significance…
Bananas are shipped by sea.
I think the rest of the world should send psychiatrists to the UK to help you all deal with the trauma of no bananas.
Banana shortage…
Does Britain not have bigger problems?
We the pilots, the royal citizens of Kankluna, are on a siesta. It is something like a banana. Far out blast offs like 2 oh 1 oh are not going to happen every year, sooooo lets get rocking.
Do?
Slip on the peel – as usual?

LOL
There is no ‘Her Majesty’s Government’ now, Parliament was dissolved by the Queen a week or so ago. You will have to wait until after polling day on 6 May. I don’t think bananas will be top priority once the vote is counted and a new Government is installed.
