talk about hopeful!

i just read this report and had to chuckle. mainly for two reasons:

1- does that amount of money exist over here? (I have 47p on my desk i can contribute!)
2- all i could picture was dr evil sitting there speaking to the consulate: "we ask you for... a TRILLION pounds! MWHAHAHA!"

i really need to get out more!

nb: i believe a trillion to be more than a million, so £1,000,000,000,000 of course, if i remember, i will ask my resident maths nerd shannon if i am correct!
