How to stop bananas ripening - for more than a week

Bruce from Takaro

- I did an hour of research to discover this, and it works.
- Peel them and keep them in a container in the fridge (not the freezer).
- Try to minimize pressure of bananas on the container or each other (see picture, it bruises them)
- Apparently ripening is caused by the skin and stem.

- Today I enjoyed another banana bought a week ago, still as it was then.
- This means we can buy 'ready' bananas, or even 'starting to speckle', and not have to visit the supermarket so often (saves fuel and carbon, you don't impulse-spend on other things while there, also wasting money, overeating).
- It also means no-more unhealthy 'have to eat that banana because it's going off' when you don't want to.

Hi Neighbours!

Happy Waitangi Weekend.

There’s a lovely young boy in our street from a family who’s got a lot on their plate at the moment, who could really do with a mountain bike to get him out & about, and maybe involved with a club.

Does anyone have a surplus one that they’d be happy to either preferably donate, or sell for a modest price?

Thank you!

New Sky Box

Peter from West End

Thought I would pass on what I found out today. No doubt every one who has Sky TV has seen the ad for the new Sky Box. If you have applied for one like I did last year do not hold your breath.

No doubt every one who has Sky TV has seen the ad for the new Sky Box. If you have applied for one like I did last year do not hold your breath. It seems that the only people who qualify getting one are Vodaphone customers only. When I asked why this was not mentioned in the ad the person I was speaking could not or would not give me answer. Even when I rang last year to book one I was not that they were for Vodaphone customers only. as a customer for the past 25 odd years In am not a happy chappy. But ther does not seem much one can do but grin and bear it
