I'm very disappointed it didn't translate the $1m story to £747,000

I found it completely unrelatable and couldn't follow it at all, not having any frame of reference for how much a dollar might be worth in real money

Luckily the background reminded me i could go and make myself a cup of tea to feel better

Pet peeve: If I go to google.ca and ask [1 gallon to liters], it uses US gallons. (But if I ask [1 pint to ml] it gets it right.)
