The influx of US Dollars from the retirees would let the country slowly convert to the US Dollar.... and the demands from the 'old people' for various items would lead to all kinds of goods being exported from the US to Zimbabwe... which would help the US balance of trade, plus provide many jobs for Zimbabweans unloading the stuff from ships, running stores, etc. Everybody comes out ahead on the deal. Sadly, though, it seems that anymore unless a country is a threat to the US, they don't get any attention. Maybe someone should photoshop some pictures of Mugabe hanging out with Al Queda, start a whole rumor campaign and see if that helps (Just Kidding)<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('88209','Jeff'); return false;">Reply to this comment</a> --- <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('88209','Jeff','I was thinking the other day that the US should just buy out Mugabe - \"We\'ll give you $$$$ if you just leave\" \r\n\r\nThen the US could ship all the people who are living on Social Security to Zimbabwe, and let them retire there.

Then the US could ship all the people who are living on Social Security to Zimbabwe, and let them retire there. The influx of US Dollars from the retirees would let the country slowly convert to the US Dollar…. and the demands from the ‘old people’ for various items would lead to all kinds of goods being exported from the US to Zimbabwe… which would help the US balance of trade, plus provide many jobs for Zimbabweans unloading the stuff from ships, running stores, etc.

Everybody comes out ahead on the deal.

Sadly, though, it seems that anymore unless a country is a threat to the US, they don’t get any attention.

Maybe someone should photoshop some pictures of Mugabe hanging out with Al Queda, start a whole rumor campaign and see if that helps (Just Kidding)

One UK gallon = 4.5 Litres, so a gallon would be £4.14. Slighly more for Diesel The 50.4 p figure you see there is for LPG - liquid petroleum Gas (like what you'd use on your Cadac) - which very few cars use.

The 50.4 p figure you see there is for LPG - liquid petroleum Gas (like what you’d use on your Cadac) - which very few cars use.

Still, moot point.
