Salvaging the Day

Leave it to Gaddafi to provide me with one decent post today, just minutes before I leave for my fourth and last lengthy meeting of the day:

Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi claims Coca Cola is African and wants a share of the money.

He says Coca-Cola should pay a percentage of every can or bottle sold to governments across the continent.

Speaking at a celebration marking the seventh anniversary of the African Union, Gaddafi said: "The essential ingredients for Coca Cola come from African plants and so compensation must be paid to us."
