Mine went in late this year, and the first ones haven't even reached
half a Maclaren yet.

I'm still working that out....

Half a Maclaren, when used as a measure of the size of runner beans,
is 3".

Nick Maclaren.

Thank you. Some of mine are 1.5 Maclarens, but please don't think
I'm bragging. :-)

Well, I would be, if I were a runner bean! Now, being brought up more
on sweetcorn than runner beans, half a Maclaren is 5" and 1.5" thick.
A full Maclaren is too much for most Brits.

Nick Maclaren.
