I'm glad I asked.
Clearly it depends on what you count.
Stars? A million is nothing, less than a drop in the universe.
Grains of sand? Nada. Maybe a sand castle on a beach?
Humans? Humans are never nothing. We are just the most amazing and bewildering things in the universe... as near as we can tell, we think. It's likely that many of the cities boasting of a million or more people, are places you have never even heard of.
Money? Ha... not what it once was, that's for sure.
So what's this particular million?
It's actually the millionth.
The millionth Brompton bicycle rolled off the Brompton assembly at the sacred plant in London that all Bromptons come from, including mine. I 'liked' (loved? hearted?) the video of course and just had to comment.
I recommend that you watch the video too. It's obviously historic. It will be even more so if King Charles heeds my advice and knights Andrew Ritchie, Brompton's brilliant creator.
Feel free to chime in and poke King Charles in favour of Sir Andrew Ritchie.
