Sounds like a good market to be in.

I was reading this about a UK businessman selling gallows to countries around the world. Read more here.

Leaving aside all the issues surrounding this legal and moral. I was surprised to learn a basic gallows, pictured in background, as three thick bits of wood and a rope was selling for £12K. Now if they can't even build one of those, even in Zimbabwe, they have no hope at all of progressing to modern technology like drawers and the like.

I'll see if any sea fairing nations on his sales list want to buy a £4K plank so they can execute them at sea.

Oh, and they are banning the export of this technology. You have got to laugh. Gallows humour. But what if they, god forbid, export three bits of thick wood, some nails, a rope and a instruction manual.
