I have to say, I too am confused by the use of MM.

[Fraidycat]

1MM = 1 x Million x Million

So these consultants are costing £1 Trillion per day

It was a sad day in 1974 when Harold Wilson confirmed that the UK would use the short scale definition of a billion due to increasing use and influence by the USA and its inability to handle big numbers.

Wow, only £1,100 a day, charge rates have really dropped then.

Deloitte's were charging a reduced rate. They normally stiff the taxpayer for way more than that.

To be fair, billions and trillions by the Yank definition are far more commonly encountered orders of magnitude than 10^12 and 10^18.

So that's one innovation that I think makes sense.
