Thinking about the carbon footprint malarky.

Would it not be more economical to just build a big green house and Grow banana's in the UK rather than importing them?

It would have to be a green house the size of Essex to keep up with demand in this country.

Bananas were recently voted Britain's most popular fruit, so FFFF may well be right.

I should add that I work for a shipping company so I have a vested interest in moving stuff from country to another.

Maybe work on the export rather than the import side, you can start with Peckham :biggrin:

Exports is more of my field than imports. Where do you want it moved to ? We operate a service to Russia so I could probably get it as far as the Ural Mountains :biggrin:

I don't think the locals to Peckham are used to cold Climates.
