That billion thing, didn't realise it was different. Have we just been Americanised? The brutes. I never argue anyway thanks to my lack of pulling facts out of my head. I need to have Wikipedia open in front of me before I can even argue so much as who owes what for the taxi
The British billion was always a million million.
Until 1974/5 when Dennis Healy switched us to the 1,000 million is a billion.
The old British billion is now the trillion (as featured in Hitch Hikers Guide To The Galaxy 🙂 )
if I had a billion USD and traveled to the U.K. its worth half a Billion. Will you please punch your friend for me and remind them we are very poorly edumacated here in the states!!!!! 1USD=1.9843GBP
Yes indeed. I think it might have been last Thursday (but I could be wrong). There was a bit about youtube and the Brits that have had the most views or something. Bryony / Paperlillies got a mentioned as did geriatric whatever the number is.
If we go by the notion that 1 billion is 1 thousand-million instead of 1 million-million, why don't we go by the notion that 1 million is 1 hundred-thousand instead of 1 thousand-thousand?

You are amazing and fantastic and brilliant, Elise.
Hurray! My cunning plan is working.
For some reason I am overcome with the sense that you are amazing, fantastic, brilliant and excellent.
In germany a billion is much more than a billion in the US (just as you said).
But you have to look up how big a gogool (google) is!
The preview pic for this video is great!

Yes, that's it. I'm dreadful with pseudonyms.

The online Guardian doesn't always match the printed edition for some reason. I'll have to see if I can find it.

I can't find any online reference to it, but thanks for the tip off!

I'm sorry you lost me at a BILLION Billion and Million+Million……?
Still a million million in most of the world.
One pound is worth .48 cents. But it fluctuates everyday according to the market

Americans just like to inflate things. Oh, did you see the mention you got in the Guardian – last week I think.
