20,000 hectares of juicy pickings Explanation: I see what LJ means about acres/hectares, but the number in acres is hardly pithy headline stuff! (No doubt it´s not exactly 20,000 either). How does it come out in square miles I wonder? Even without "translating" this figure into something the English speaking crowd can measure, I think it sounds big enough to any ear. |
