This isn’t the first time Sheppey has faced a banana crisis. The last shortage saw local authorities step in after a shipment turned up filled with non-banana contraband instead. Details remain murky, but the island’s banana drought is clearly back with a vengeance.
“First, we had no tomatoes, then no eggs, and now this? It’s a banana crisis!” – one fed-up local shopper quipped.
