Numbers with meaning

Mr. Hardman of the Daily Disaster can be a hard man to beat when it comes to explaining something. The wildfire damage to 2 nature reserves in Suffolk amounts to 371 acres or 210 football pitches. Meaningless numbers. How about the whole of Hyde Park? Or three-quarters of Monaco, which is big enough for a Grand Prix? Much more graspable.
