How many zeros are there in a Billion, and is a British Billion the same as an American Billion?

News people on BBC were saying that 16 Billion dollars, or it might have been 60 Billion has been spent on advertising and promoting the Parties. Is the population 600 million? Can you do the math(s) of how much was spent per capita?
Well, a US billion is 1,000,000,000, whilst a UK billion was 1,000,000,000,000, which became a trillion in the UK in 1975 thanks to Dennis Healy accepting the US version.
 
Lovely supper of ham, leek & cheese bake, new potatoes and purple sprouting broccoli.

Madam Lexi had some posh Lily's Kitchen stuff with salmon & tuna.
