• 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?

    My dad's mum did.

    Apparently there's even weirder stuff going on in Catalonia with time keeping, something along the lines of 1415h being "quarter of three" etc., i.e. a quarter of the third hour has elapsed.
