Thanks to all who entered. The prize of a small amount of kudos to the following:
6. Clint75
Processed pea's kiwi impression still needed some work.
5. Rogueslr
Does this mean that Five-a-Day just got alot easier?
4. Spraggy
I've told you a thousand times, I am just a grape!
3. BSPRobinson
It is believed that Mrs Milibands attempts to redress the balance between her sons over dinner have failed.
2. Andy
The Hobbit's casting team were told to sign up any small Kiwis.
1. MuteJoe
Apparently, it's perfectly normal for one to be slightly smaller than the other.
