Plymouth and Newcastle (sometimes)

Phone numbers that is I say mine...5,3 and 3. P says hers...2,3,3 and 3 while my eldest says his...4,3 and 4. When having it repeated back to you but not in the way you say it, do you have to do a double take and think hard before confirming it?

4, 3, 4

It is the closest cadence to the US phone number rhythm that I'm used to. I have a really hard time grasping the rhythm that starts with 5 numbers.

Slightly off at a tangent (how unlike that to happen in a forum thread!) but it always slightly irks me that the 'alphabet' rhyme (when reciting the alphabet) 'works' with the Americanisation 'zee' for 'z' rather than the 'proper' () English version 'zed'. Yeah, I need to get out more I know.

Anyway, as you were ... Telephone numbers ... me? 4 - 3 - 4 here too

Can't remember the last time I had a landline But does having it spoken back to you seem like the wrong number until you think it through? Throws me every time.

My number has 4 doubles in it, so it's kind of 1,1,2,2

Because we are taking over the world?

I didn't even know what the hell "zed" meant when we moved here. I though people were referring to a guy's name. Marc had to quietly explain it to me

London and France

The French do theirs in pairs:

So 0625689732 would be spoken as

" zero six, twenty-five, sixty-eight, ninety -seven, thirty- two" ( well in French, obviously)

At first it seemed really odd; now it makes perfect sense, and I find it much easier to remember numbers that way.

I always found water to be the strangest...

No one would understand me till I started saying war-der...

And the amount who would immediately decide they were not going to understand me, cause I might be some kind of Spanish!

Actually makes me laugh now, frustrating at the time!

5 and 6. I hate it when people read it back to me differently to the way I say it
