University of Manchester Library has taken to Twitter to beg students to not use mouldy bananas as bookmarks.

Please don't use bananas as bookmarks and definitely don't return your books to us with old and mouldy banana-bookmarks still in them 📚🍌🚫 Thanks a bunch

And if you think they’re joking then they’ve posted a photo to show the disgusting way in which Manchester students are treating their learning materials.

You've spoken we've listened. You wanted visual evidence of the mouldy banana-bookmark (you're a grubby lot! ). So without further ado… pic.twitter.com/P4BIk5sxXp

Let’s zoom in to see quite how horrible that is

Animals. Simply animals.

When we were students we didn’t open one book.
