160 trillion dollars for £14.50
That evil old tyrant Robert Mugabe has inflicted many miseries on Zimbabwe. As can be seen he managed to wreck the economy so comprehensively that at one stage they were issuing 100 trillion dollar notes! I don't know if this note would have been enough to buy a sports car or a loaf of bread. Possibly which item it could buy was dependent on whether it was the morning or the afternoon. Though I suspect it was all academic since it was probable neither item would be in the shops......
I sincerely hope a fireside seat in hell has been reserved for Mr Mugabe. And may he soon go there.
