DD is part of a friendship group of 15 girls.
Over the past 2 months they have taken their driving test.
The first girl ate a banana before and she passed.
Since then 10 others have taken their test.
8 ate a banana and passed the other 2 failed.
These 2 retook the test last couple of weeks and passed after eating a banana.
This morning DD took her test and ate a banana.
She passed.
Who knew how much power a banana has.

Indeed. I had a valium (and failed). I should have followed the banana method! Grin

You are shunned by polite society, making passing your driving test a minor issue.

Well who knew? I've just had a blunder round Google, and apparently bananas contain a natural beta-blocker which helps to calm you down by counteracting the effects of adrenaline.
