Whether the deal is dollars or pounds isn't really significant in terms of the size of the deal, as you stated yesterday. However, if one cares about objectivity, getting the facts right is important.
The original language for one deal is in pounds and the other is in dollars. As I said yesterday here, T.E.D. (OJEU) might contain a typo, but every other comment on the deal relies on that source. Where's the more likely mistake?
