First time I was in the US, Oregon somewhere, somebody asked me the time to which I replied "Five and twenty past ten", to huge guffaws of jolly laughter and cries of "Say it again, say it again". It became a party trick when the clock stood at the relevant time some wag would cry "Listen everyone, Cazz honey, what's the time"?
