How do you dispose of a banana skin?

[jefmcg]

They can last rather a long time.

Personally, I think they should be left wrapped around the fruit and still attached to the plant in the tropics (or Iceland)

Lob it out of the car window onto the road.



Of course I jest; keep yer hair on! It goes out the passenger side into the hedge.

Preferably when there's a group of filtering MAMILs

Do Iceland sell unpeeled frozen bananas then?

I try to launch mine into a dense hedgerow where it can rot away out of sight - I wait 'til there's no traffic about mind.
Suppose it's only a matter of time until someone is caught on camera and done for littering

Two years according to the John Muir Trust, at least up a 1,000m+ mountain.

The two-year thing is an oft-repeated hoax. 2-3 weeks is the more usual time. Obviously a skin will take longer to decompose on a freezing mountain top than it will in a hedge at low level.

If I recall, Phil carries a pannier with him, I'd slip it into that, job done

Double pannier with a top bag, all well-filled, so I doubt there would be room.

I hand-weighed Phil's rig, I reckon it's heavier than my ebike, so 20kg+.

Not that you'd think it the way he propels the bike up hills.

I can't tell if you are serious; I meant the country. Though apparently that's another lie (thanks for nothing, wikipedia). They used to grow them, but they took 2 years to mature, so now they import them like everyone else.

Or in a rubbish tip in Southwark, 500 years. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/370550.stm

Take it home, or to a bin, same with an apple core, it's all litter, if you can carry it out, you can carry it back.

There's actually two Phils. The spare one is kept in the pannier.

I save mine to use when playing Mario Cart.

Drat! I've been rumbled.

 

[graham bowers]

Left to decompose in the great outdoors, but hidden from view.

When you see the speed they rot in a fruit Bowl, leaving them in the countryside is not a bad thing.
