'A supermarket in Orkney has been giving away bananas after accidentally ordering an estimated 38,000 of them - almost double the entire population of the islands.'
'Tesco in Kirkwall had intended to order 380kg (750lbs) of the fruit but a slip-up meant it ordered 380 wholesale boxes, each containing about 100 bananas.'

@jonpsp double the population is only 2 each, I'm sure everyone could manage that before they go off!

@jonpsp I do like banana bread - I suspect there may be a lot of it in people’s kitchens in the coming weeks.

@jonpsp These shop owners on Orkney, need to do the ordering, then have a wee dram. (also mentioned in above banana story) https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c723n29vv9go

@jonpsp Just peel them, lay them in bags and put in the fridge and you have bananas for the whole year 👌
