Ah the Trooper, what a surprise... At least its at the start of the program I guess.

The Trooper for sure. We are talking about a band as imaginative as Maiden!

I doubt Maiden pick the tracks to be fair

Probably true for this Download special, but they definitely had a say about which songs were broadcast for past Download/Sonisphere TV shows.

Anybody knows if Bruce could finish the Truants race? It seems that Rod keep it secretly too.

[Trevoire]

Nope.

Iron Maiden’s Bruce Dickinson helps Heavy Metal Truants raise over £1 million for charity

Bruce Dickinson and Heavy Metal Truants worldwide cycle, run and walk 37,917 miles to help raise £1 million for charity

Edited message to cater for all options:

Decimal point version (using commas to separate thousands):

It should be said that prior to this year's charity event the Heavy Metal Truants had already raised over £800,000 for charity, meaning that this year's money raised with Bruce's help would be over £200,000. The headline can be misleading.


Decimal comma version (using points to separate thousands):

Punctuate your numbers, you madman

 

[The_7th_one]

Thanks for the info. Official Maiden website didn't say a word about it during and after the bike race or whatever. Why is this don't surprising me?

I did not do it so our friends over in the continent do not get confused. What over here is written as £200,000, there would be seen as £200 (with three decimal places).

This I did not know. Well played. Carry on.

Savages!

 

[Ruflux]

You can always use the universally understood space instead, as in £200 000.

£200,00 - yes. £200,000 - most probably not, the third zero would ring a bell.

Don’t get me started on that notation. I spent yesterday’s evening going through the proofs of a paper where it had been used leading to ambiguous interpretation of the technical aspects of the work we had done.

Nevertheless, I will edit the original post to cater for all different options.

Probably will not confuse people with currency, that’s correct.

You did a great job:

I'm sure nobody would be confused now.

Learned people definitely wouldn’t.
