Also, IIRC an english billion is one million million, not one thousand million.

Someone chime in if they know better.

if what you're referring to is the difference in currency, it would be a little less than twice as much, when converting pounds to dollars.

if you're not referring to currency differences, then i have no clue what you could possibly mean.

a billion is a thousand million, when referring to numbers, in a decimal system, no matter what.
