    Oddities - and “four to zero”

    By Will 3 years ago, mid-October, Comments

    Received an email from “John Smith” (he wishes to remain anonymous!) showing me this link to Google Video, in which someone (I guess from Google News) mentions England’s Ashes victory. It’s right at the end of the clip, to save you listening all the way through it. The only remarkable thing was listening to the American say “Australia, who were four to zero (4-0) at the close”, which raised a smile.

    It’s all very odd.
