I dunno where it comes from, but when telling the time, my mum says "it's a five and twenty to / past....(the hour)" instead of simply twenty five to / past.... whatever the hour is.
She only does it for 25.
Riddle me that. Does anyone else's mum do that?
Nah but I remember yank pals doing it and some other odd stuff with time which resulted in me having no clue what time they were trying to talk about.
