Jamaica??? I'm not even sure they even have a rugby team. What a laugh! What exactly do they have to do to express an interest. Write a letter?...an email perhaps? I think someone there might have smoked too much last night. Perhaps they thought they could pull something off like…

This will make a difference if you use the Big Mac index to compare relative prices between countries. The cost getting people to work nights (and smile) may have also gone up. I wonder, if the price of a Mac is going up about 7.5%, whether wages are being put…
