I think you'll find that 40M is the code-number for the application.

Not the amount of money being spent on around 2,000 green plastic seats and a couple of portacabins.

Sorry to disappoint, but in the finance world nowadays "M" actually means "k"... "MM" means million...

But this is in a construction industry journal, so will confuse everyone.

Why do the "finance world" live in a different one to the rest of us? Actually, you don't have to answer that!

I don't really see that as a problem. In fact I prefer it that way :)

Its Americanised lingo that seems to run the workplace nowadays (especially in this company which to be fair is American).

I regularly got confused at the beginning about M and MM meaning k and M respectively in traditional metric terminology.

Furthermore, they seem to pronouce FINANCE as "fin" ance rather than "fy"nance. :shootself
