I am not too sure of the parse though

Potty = bananas
trained = went by train
Continent = def
but at an early stage?

I think the definition is "at an early stage, continent" = potty-trained.

Thanks Elle and Bunty!

I knew the answer had to be 'potty trained' without fully understanding

You're welcome, Pigale!
Chambers gives "continent" as "able to control the movements of one's bladder and bowels" ie potty -trained !!

There used to be a saying "Portsmouth for the Continent, Eastbourne for the incontinent"!
