It was a recent edition of The One Show, caught in passing at the in-laws on Thursday night en-route to The Steamer in Fleetwood. Might not have been five years, but certainly long enough to give me pause for thought at the amount of banana skins I've casually discarded in my time thinking they'd break down pretty quickly...

Looking it up on-line I came up with this which makes interesting reading:
