A supermarket in Orkney has been giving away bananas after accidentally ordering an estimated 38,000 of them - almost double the entire population of the islands.

Whilst working in my first office job after Uni at London Borough of Greenwich, some crazy fool decided to let me lose on the stationary brochure with the brief to order some post-its.
In my confused inexperience wrongly assumed that 1 unit was a single pad of the Post-its and promptly ordered 1000 units.
A couple of days later I got a call from the receptionist, "Matt, your order is here". "Thanks" I replied. "I'll come out now".
The receptionist replied with "Don't forget your forklift".
I had ordered something like 4 thousand times more than I meant to.6 -

Stacked them on a hill outside the supermarket I hear. That's a slippery slope if you ask me.Off_it said:A supermarket in Orkney has been giving away bananas after accidentally ordering an estimated 38,000 of them - almost double the entire population of the islands.

Back in the late 80`s i worked as a Manager for Sainsburys on the the produce department , got called into the loading bay one morning as they had just pulled off the days fresh delivery and asked me to check one pallet load as it seemed wrong , turns out the person in the office had ordered a whole pallet of Mange Tout instead of one box . I Had in one day over a years supply of the stuff !0

A mate of mine worked for one of the big supermarkets years back, i forget which one. Anyways, he did nights/early mornings and was unstacking and putting stuff out to be shelved. Moves a box of bananas and there was a huge spider in there! Like a tarantula or something! Thankfully it was dead (dried) and didn't make its escape to start a new colony of super spiders in Crawley, but he was a little bit shocked to say the least!0

I have ten banana plants/trees for over ten years now and longer in our old place, never had a sodding banana off of them though, not even a soft on to take pity on.0
