Yes! We Have No Bananas

Sky UK says 'we're going bananas for the gorgeous gentle giants', but I couldn't see a single banana anywhere in sight!

 

"Yes! We Have No Bananas" (25/02/21)


I do love a topical song and in this case Billy Jones sings: "Yes! We Have No Bananas."

Recorded in 1922 but still relevant in Scotland today.

More banana related stories - which reminds me I must share my recipe on the blog!

Banana and Blueberry Bread (20/11/20)



Here's my latest effort at making my Mum's Banana Bread which is more of a moist cake really, especially as this one has some blueberries added to complement the dates and bananas.

My Mum's Banana Loaf (01/11/20)


 
My Mum was a really good cook and one of the things I remember fondly was a scrumptious Banana Loaf made with All Bran.

After all these years I've finally got round to making one of my own although my version has been jazzed up a little, courtesy of some chopped dates and walnuts.

My only regret is that my Mum is not here to share a slice with me over a nice cup of tea - I'm sure she'd be pleased with my efforts even though I say so myself.

One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'. Write to the leader of Glasgow City Council Write to the Chief Executive of Glasgow City Council Write to all elected members in Glasgow City Council Write to the party leaders in Glasgow City Council W
