It appears there is the American way which includes the scientific community then everyone else. It is still a truly scary amount of money and I'd hope no one would run their home finances the way we run our country finance re debt. <br /><br />As to your spend, excellent. It must be so hard for brokers and boat sellers at the moment. I still have dithered over a couple of boats but more dreams than reality, plus I'd have to sell Waterlily and when i think of what we have put into her and the loss we would make....<br /><br />Keep blogging about the search it is very interesting<br /><br />NevNev Wellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07047359519459723079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9193284457263034796.post-83496455139943507672012-01-25T13:31:56.326+00:002012-01-25T13:31:56.326+00:00In the old days, before Americanisation, what is n...In the old days, before Americanisation, what is now referred to as a "trillion" used to be a mere "billion", i.e. a million million or 10 to the power of 12.<br /><br />I suppose an old "British" trillion was million million million, or 10 to the power of 18, but such vast numbers were more the province of astronomy, not economics.<br /><br />I'm slightly surprised the Government hasn't gone back to the old system to make it sound less!<br /><br />What will I do? Well, I'm hoping to buy a boat. Will that be a big enough spend?Halfiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00167481543065324357noreply@blogger.com
