These should be pleasing to the mayor.

Mgarr has its strawberries which are grown there, and its strawberry festival helps boost the sale of local produce.

But tropical fruit? Having said that, I could see the connection with the previous theme i.e. bananas, although the link I make might not be politically correct (and no, it is not obscene).
