Errr ~ The Tesco site makes it clear that they are selling the bananas by the KILO  whistle:

Yes, well I missed that bit, which is why we have 6 kilos of the bastards  evil:

OK sensible suggestion which my boys love.
Push a wooden skewer into the end of each banana ~ leave the skins on. Place them in the freezer. When The Boy wants a sweet treat ~ give him a banana ice lolly. The skins will turn black but the contents, as long as the bananas are fresh, will be fine. All he has to do is peel the "lolly" and scoff it. The wooden skewers can be recycled the next time you have a surfeit of bananas

Frozen banana on a stick? It's an old trick, but it might just work

It has bananas in the name but plantains in the recipe. I don't have any plantains  evil:

It reminds me of a song.

As do I, but when I made a similar mistake to Nick  redface: I mashed them and then froze the mash in bread quantities.
