365NEWS Gathered that Residents of a town in Nottinghamshire, England in the United Kingdom are puzzled by the mysterious appearance of plates filled with peeled bananas left by the side of a road every month for over a year.
The phenomenon occurs on the second day of each month in 2024, when a plate of bananas is found on a street corner in Beeston, across from a local church.
The mystery began more than a year ago at the intersection of Abbey Road and Wensor Avenue, and the purpose behind it remains unclear.
A local resident, Clare Short, discovered the pattern and noticed the bananas were consistently placed on the second day of each month.
In response, she put up a sign at the location that reads, “Please, respectfully, no more bananas! The uncollected plates and rotting bananas leave such a mess. Wishing a happy new year to you all.”
Despite the sign, Short revealed that a plate of bananas was left on January 2nd.
“I’ve asked around in the local community but no one really knows and no one can tell me anything,” Short shared with the BBC.
Residents have speculated that the bananas may be intended as a gift for local wildlife, while others think they could be some sort of religious offering, given the proximity to the church.
Short, who has come to accept the monthly occurrence, remarked, “I’ve come to take the signs down because I don’t really want to make it like a feud, I don’t want it to become a big thing. I think it’s a special thing for [someone] and I wish them well. But if they could come back and clean up the mess a few days later that would be lovely
