Pounds thrust to horsepower

Hello all,

can any of the gurus help...I am writing a commentary for a jet handling display, but need to convert lbs thrust into horsepower so the ice cream lickers can relate to it. Something along the lines of..."FLTLT Farnarkle's aircraft has 35,000lbs of thrust, this is XXXXhp, or the equivalent of about 147 Ford Lasers" etc etc

Thanks in advance for any help received.
