Why are consultants like old bananas?

No idea really why consultants are like bananas, but having raced back from picking up a sick teenager from school I got home just in time to be interviewed about consultants & freelancers fee rates on Radio Essex. Trying to compose my thoughtful and articulate comments I was slightly thrown to hear the presenter rattling through assorted uses for old bananas - including a slightly bizarre 'banana coat'!

Things got a little more serious when he started to introduce the subject and we covered all the thorny issues of working for yourself, finding clients, setting fees and the dreaded 'feast and famine' issue. It was nice to be able to promote the concept of freelancing as a useful means for businesses to access highly skilled people and hopefully any of you live in Essex and caught the broadcast won't have found me too embarrassing!
