At-a-glance: The road to a trillion
Bewitched by credit
The amount of money Britons owe on credit cards, loans and mortgages has topped 1,000 billion pounds - £1 trillion.
This is equivalent to £17,000 of debt for every man, woman and child.
A trillion pound debt exceeds the whole external debt of Africa and South America combined.
