Man who brought bananas to BritainQuote:

SIR Alfred Jones (1845 – 1909) is credited with introducing the banana to Britain when he transported the fruit on refrigerated vessels run by his Elder Dempster shipping company.
We now take for granted refrigeration for transporting perishable goods.
Little more than 100 years ago this would have been unthinkable and it was pioneers like Sir Alfred who helped transform the way we eat.
At Merseyside Maritime Museum’s Life at Sea gallery there is a wax plaque of Sir Alfred, who was the dominant figure in the development of the trade with West Africa. He looks the epitome of the Victorian businessman with his formal jacket, starched collar and fancy whiskers.

VISITORS to the Go Superlambanana trail are being asked to take care of the art works, after a few suffered superficial damage.
Almost 120 of the creatures have adorned the streets of Liverpool for the past two weeks, much to the delight of the city and its visitors.
But, due to graffiti attacks, people sitting on them and bad weather, a few of the mini-Superlambananas have had to be repaired by a specialist team aimed at keeping them in tip-top condition.
Leader of Liverpool City Council, Cllr Warren Bradley, is calling on the people to take care of them to ensure everyone can enjoy them.

Some more outside the Arena with a few mobile fast foods on station.
I'm currently in London and have taken a photo of the Euston one. Will try and work out how to post it when I get back.

Woo hoo looking forward to seeing it :PDT_Piratz_26:
Funnily enough, the Euston one has already been posted in this Thread. Before it actually left Liverpool! But I won't spoil it.....
I love this one. Such a class phrase...:D

One is supposed to be going to the top of Moel Famau, if the locals allow it.

I've noticed a few in the City centre have moved around slightly. Probably for better security.
my gratitude to Julie for sending me some pix of the Euston one :PDT_Aliboronz_11: and she asked me to post one here...(this is the one I got at Garston), but still nice to see it in situ.
