I believe the numerical value of a "billion" differs from the US/AU and the UK (and possibly the rest of Europe). That's what I've been told anyway. I'm not saying a billion dollars != billion pounds, that's obvious, but the actual number of 0's at the end is different.

Google will probably tell all. :tongue:

Edit: The above is true, Google is a fountain of knowledge grin - See this page.

Regards,
