What would happen if I started hassling the South Australians Rae?
Would I still be safe or would I be in as much trouble as Graham is on a daily basis?

Most of our Bananas come from Queensland Stace, that's why we call them banana benders
Cyclone Larry did a lot of damage to the banana plantations in March I think it was.
$13.99 kg they cost now
I wish I could get Kristy to eat a different fruit ! She's sending me broke
The price will probably go down in the next 6 months.

Yes we call Queenslanders - Banana Benders, Cane Toads....and other not so nice stuff especially when they're behind the steering wheel.

PS - I think the rest of Australia call people in Sydney - rude, arrogant, obnoxious and sometimes via STD.

Bananas are only $11.99 a kilo here, Rae. We have them growing up north in Carnarvon in WA but we still have been hit with the price increase. A friend of the family has a plantation and he said he was having trouble selling a box of them for $8 last year. Now he's getting $100 a box for them!

They're worth their weight in gold at the moment.

I think B1 & B2 have had substantial upgrades to their contracts as well lately....they were able to demand a much higher salary but I am not sure if the network can afford them either now.
Remember what it used to be like...it was as if they grew on trees before....but now

![OMG :omg:](./images/smilies/omg.gif)
You all could fly here, get bananas cheap and still spend less than $13.99kg
And do you think B1 and B2 have gotten new pajamas yet? With that kind of dough, they should be sleeping in the best pjs ever
