✈️ How much did your last plane ticket cost? Plane tickets in Africa are around 45% more expensive than equivalent trips elsewhere, and it's often cheaper to fly out of the continent and back in. What's going on? bbc.in/40c4qGh

Did I tell you about the time my son failed his driving test for the second time? He was really upset, so trying to be a good dad, I tried to make it better. Because of Covid, his next chance to take his test locally was next year, so I looked online.
