So can I go to Windworths to pick up a fin for $100 and some banana's for $9.99 a kilo? I'd go to Windworths to pick up some bread and milk and come back with a mast and sail. "The family will have to starve this month honey 'cause I spent the food budget money on windsurfing gear"

Is that really true???

I bought some narnibars a couple of days ago before the price went through the roof.... so maybe I should deposit them in the bank just for safekeeping......if the value keeps going up, by the start of summer I should be able to get a decent waveboard for around 1 and a half nanas.

Mikey, get them while you can. In a few years $13.95 will be a bargain.

Bananas are on the endangered list. I know it sounds stupid but the fruit is not genetically robust. All the natural varieties found in India have been virtually eliminated as growers worldwide have gone to the same variety for commercial reason which is now under threat from a virus.

hi sinker,

yep, very true.

after the cyclone wrecked every banana farm in sight the prices have sky rocketed. either the monkeys in FNQ have taken things into their own hands or someone is desperate for his nana shakes.

Thank you all for the great entries.

We thought it would be easier once we had a heap of names, now it is even more dificult.

We will try and come to a decision as soon as we can agree on one.

Thanks,

It is very clever marketing to get everyone who cares to become involved and remember the name.
