I assume these photos were taken before the recent "revaluation" where .gov.zw took the decision to knock the rightmost 10 zeroes off the currency. Thanks for posting, and thereby adding to perspective. If it wasn't for the recent economic downturn, I would have suggested that .uk offer to bail .zw out financially, on the condition that they rescind the independent sovereignty they (unlike almost every other member of the Commonwealth) clearly can't handle...

Much as I might complain about my computer crashing, at least I have electricity 24 hours a day, drinkable water out of the tap and affordable food around the corner. There are a places where a few of our pounds can make a very big difference. Spot on.

No problem:)
