Spare a thought for the Zimbabwean children who go to sleep prone - dreamy smiles upon their faces, dreams of sweeties in their sleeping heads - who awake in a seated position reminiscent of John Merrick near the end, with hundreds of useless banknotes stuffed beneath their pillow; banknotes with which they can’t even buy enough sweets to rot a tiny pinprick hole in their molars. That’s if you can even GET sweets in Zimbabwe any more.

Well I was obviously overcharged when I had to cough up £1 twenty odd years ago! Did I really fall for the ‘the tooth fairy leaves everyone at school a pound’? I shall demand a refund.

Free economy sucks

What kind of awful cheapskate short-changes their own loinfruit like this? It’s not as if they have endless sets of teeth, and cash-strapped parents must remortgage their homes to pay for 19 year old Tarquin’s chompers, hoping against hope the he’ll hurry up and move out before they have to sell gran into white slavery for more chomper money?
