Mystery of Monthly Bananas Baffles Beeston Residents
Residents in Beeston, Nottinghamshire, are puzzled by the monthly appearance of peeled bananas on a plate at the junction of Abbey Road and Wensor Avenue, an occurrence that has persisted for over a year. The bananas, often drizzled with honey, appear early on the second of each month, leading locals to speculate about their purpose, with theories ranging from religious offerings to attempts to feed wildlife. Many residents have expressed frustration due to the mess caused by the rotting fruit, prompting some, like Clare Short, to post a sign requesting an end to the practice. Despite the plea, the bananas reappeared on January 2, 2025, leaving residents to wonder about the identity of the anonymous benefactor. While some believe the act may relate to Hindu rituals, no animals seem to touch the bananas, further deepening the mystery. As the phenomenon continues, locals are left cleaning up the mess while wishing for clarity on the bizarre ritual.
