    I've lost track, what's the size of our stimulus package? A list for countries as a percentage of GDP would be really great too.

      I know, all these billions (and trillions) floating about. I remember when a billion was a lot of money...

      ...you could have a good night out and still pay for fish n chips on the way home.

        Funnily enough, tonight I worked out what a light year is in miles. That was a lot as well.

          Not as much as the US national debt...
          If you find this post offensive, please insert "Chan" before and "tho" after, then it should be OK.

            Blimey, when you put it like that - I think I came up with 6,000,000,000,000 miles. That's 6 trillion isn't it? Only 4 times the UK personal debt.

              That's all very well, but is not much use without at least one derivative of pounds with respect to time or position. Let's say we are travelling at 60 million pounds per hour. How long before we get there and where did we start from? Are we nearly there yet?

                Seeing as most of what Germany imports comes through Dutch ports and is transported over land on Dutch trains and Dutch trucks, NL is getting a massive stimulus package without the crippling debts.
