We used to ask this question as children, if you could count from one to one million in increments of one second, how long would it take you to get to one million?
The answer is 11.57407 days.
Now that we are throwing around out billions and hundreds of billion of Pounds, Dollars and so on, answer this question: if you could count from one to one billion in increments of one second, how long would it take you to get to one billion?
The answer is ... probably a shock to you.
The point of this post: I want everyone to appreciate just what one billion really represents. It is a huge number. So, when these bankers and others who are wasting our hard earned cash are prepared to spend it by the billion, you've got some idea of what they're doing now.

The answer is ... 31.07979 YEARS
