‘There is no act, however virtuous, for which ingenuity may not find some bad motive.’

News from Kenya, care of the Daily Nation:

According to Dr Elizabeth Juma, who is the head of malaria control under the Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation, there has been evidence of people turning [mosquito] nets into fishing gear especially in Nyanza Province. Now a different group has discovered another lucrative business venture, and are using the nets to make wedding dresses.

I guess you have to give credit to the business acumen of it. Del Boy could learn a thing or two from these guys. Unfortunately, there are no pictures of the bridal wear available as yet.
