Gordon Brown's gone bananas

February 9, 2010

Guru was shocked to read that Gordon Brown is eating up to nine bananas a day as part of a pre-election health drive.

The Sun claimed the PM was trying to kick his 'three-KitKat-a-day habit' in an effort to get in shape before the general election. The paper quoted a Downing Street source as saying: "Like with everything, Gordon is an obsessive. Bananas are his big thing now - he can't get enough of them."

It goes on: "Staff have been ordered to leave a giant bowl of them in his study. The bowl, seen by The Sun, sits on his window sill, overlooking Number 10's back garden." The existence and location of the bowl is, apparently, vital to the story.

Guru is all for workplace health, but a word of warning though, Gordon: as Guru discovered to his cost, too many bananas can also cause bloating, wind and frequent trips to the toilet. Not a vote winner.
