Economic jiu-jitsu

 Iron fist and raging horse had fallen on hard times, their rare line of explosive badger breeding had not proven as profitable as first thought, infact most of the little tikes wondered back into the wild during the height of a heat wave, resulting in the biggest problem since guy Fawkes used the wrong barrels to prop up the bar in the house of Parliament and lit a fat cigar to celebrate.


Fortunately the b team found the ideal educational opportunity, the Lizzy Truss School of Economics, guaranteed to gain maximum benefit for the least effort....perfect and weirdly they insisted on paying gold to the b team to join and accepting coloured beans as payment in return. During their stay, iron fist learnt to buy high and sell low, and how to answer a question without saying anything. Raging Horse learnt the art of never quitting at the same time as quitting, and also how inflation worked......you get a balloon and a pump etc


All in all the b team had a great time, and agreed to buy back their explosive badgers and release them again in the hope that their remaining gold would magically increase in value.


What could possibly go wrong
