25 things you can buy at the traffic lights

Traffic can be a bit crazy here. Zambians (with some exceptions) don't do roundabouts. Dear Zambian motorists: if you are in the outside lane you must exit the roundabout! You cannot suddenly decide to cut across three lanes of traffic to go somewhere else. I spent 15 minutes at a roundabout today. But at least when stuck in traffic there are lots of things for sale by the street vendors who walk around between the stopped cars. For example, you can buy:

Umbrellas
Scrabble
3.       Snakes and ladders
4.       Lychees
5.       Grapes
6.       Okra
7.       Tomatoes
8.       World maps
9.       Trousers
10.   T-shirts
11.   Rolling pins
12.   Phone credit
13.   Washing baskets
14.   Washing powder
15.   Dog leads
16.   Phone chargers
17.   Newspapers
18.   Chips
19.   Water
20.   Windscreen wiper blades
21.   Chewing gum
22.   Windscreen shields
23.   Pies
24.   Timestables charts
25.   Sunglasses
