Bernie goes bananas!

Bernie Ecclestone has again threatened Australian Grand Prix organisers that if they cannot meet his licence fees and hold a night event for Europeans too lazy to get out of bed on the weekend, he will be forced to sell the event to a politically unstable backwater run by publicity seeking autocrats.

“I’ve been in negotiations with “The Octopus” Group in Hondurus”, beamed a delighted Ecclestone. “They’ve assured me if the fees are not met they can more than adequately remunerate the emolument in bananas”.. “They also assure me spectator areas will seat no more than 10 and will only be filled by the ruling clique”.

“There’s nothing worse than dealing with the unwashed masses”, he said.

Banana trading company, Cuyamel Fruit, is also rumoured to be behind the deal
