"The cost to British taxpayers was estimated at roughly £3.3 billion."

That's an average of over £100,000 per tax payer. Again, to clarify, tax payers are not some "egos at the Bank of England", but ordinary people like me and you.

There were only 33,000 tax payers in the UK in 1992?

I don't know how many tax payers there were, but dividing by the population at the time comes out to £58 per person.
