“It’s Britain’s biggest banana.
Mick said: “All the lads at work keep calling me Bananaman and reciting the opening lines to the old kids’ cartoon.”
The 1980s cartoon begins: "This is 29 Acacia Road and this is Eric, a schoolboy who leads an amazing double life.
"For when Eric eats a banana an amazing transformation occurs. Eric is Bananaman."
