Just got back from 2 weeks away (lovely!) to discover that my elderly in laws have a very different view of when runners are ready than me. I have a mountain of runners about a foot long and 3/4 inch wide. Any ideas? ( other than the compost heap!)

I find it doesn't matter how long or wide they are it really depends on how how bumpy they are :D
If they are so bad that stringing them won't make them edible leave them to dry on the plant and eat them as shelled beans ;) I'm growing some extras just so I can do this :)

I chopped a few pound today and decided if my knife objected to top and tailing them they were past using. Only managed to lose a few like that but they were very bumpy and had obviously been overlooked.
