    Also, we import all most of our bananas from outside the EU.

        I have offended people before, a lot, but never bananas. I guess that’s a first, then.

      A lot of, not all. In Spain, most bananas are produced domestically in the Canary Islands. Also there’s a small but significant production in the French Caribbean.

    This isn’t accurate. Red circle around the sign means the maximum allowed. Like an 80 kmh sign. It doesn’t mean you can’t drive at 80. It means you can’t drive above 80

    So, you can eat a banana, but you can’t eat more than 1 banana.

      It doesn’t mean you can’t drive at 80

      I think it depends. You are technically allowed to travel at exactly the indicated speed (so the check would technically be ⩽ 80), but due to the nature of real numbers it’s also impossible to physically do. So in the most pedantic sense you must drive at less than 80 km/h and the requirement might as well be < 80.
