Default using the "&" function

Hi i am using a a number and joining it with a text with the & function but i
would like it to report to 1 decimal place. e.g
cell a1 = 9.2
cell a2 = x
so using the funciton a1&a2 = 9.2x
this result is perfect.
However, what if i have 8 in cell a1
if i use a1&a2 i get = 8x (where i need 8.0x).
any ideas?
thanks
George
