1/6 I was trying to get my head around this ludicrous £22Bn figure for the non-functional Track&Trace app.
I'm still not sure how you physically spend that amount of money on ANYTHING!
So I tried to find a way to understand it.
A Billion is 1,000 Million. Thus 22Bn is 22,000 Mil.
2/6 I thought about sports cars, property, yachts. None of these felt like a common enough denominator for a Joe Schmo like me to truly understand. Then, it hit me. Football!
I could buy a Club!
Now, we generally accept footballers are paid 'disgusting' amounts of £ these days.
