t's all gone a bit controversial with the Trevor the Marrow Abandoned Appeal (see here http://brecon.fyinetwork.co.uk/my,2214-Abandoned-in-Brecon--Appeal ) with claims from Les Rees, manager of the George Hotel in Brecon, that our marrow is in fact a courgette.
It's shocking we know. So fyi:brecon got in the car and took Trevor for a ride around some of Brecon's popular eateries for their opinions.
Is Trevor a marrow or a courgette?
Down on Ship Street, Leigh Hendra and Nicky Bickerton (pictured above) at The Hours Cafe and Bookshop were chilled to the marrow when they clapped eyes on Trev.
Leigh told fyi:brecon: "Courgettes have got stubby stems whereas marrows have a tapered stem, to my knowledge anyway. Trevor is a definitely a marrow."
Les Rees tells fyi:brecon: "He's a courgette. We've got loads of huge courgettes at The George. Actually, soup of the day is courgette soup."
Meanwhile over at Patsy's Cafe, Fiz Cowtan disagreed: "Trevor's a marrow. They start off as courgettes and if you leave them long enough, they become marrows."

With opinions divided we decided to visit fruit and veg expert SJ Matthews High Class Fruit and Vegetables in Brecon Market for their view - but even the connoisseurs couldn't come to the same conclusion.
Steve (pictured above) said: "Trev's a marrow. A courgette's just a small marrow."
Steve's wife Kim (pictured below) disagreed: "I think he's a courgette."
As the argument raged on we left the final opinion to Scarlett O'Hara from the classic movie Gone With The Wind. She told fyi:brecon: "After all, to-marrow is another day."
