I had to switch over before because he said 'in number' six times in just a couple of minutes! I suppose I should be more tolerant, but for goodness sake, does he need to say it so much? I wonder if he says it because he doesn't want to confuse people into thinking he's talking about the weight of them (or something like that!)
Andrew - unless you follow the number 8 (for example) with 'grams' or 'pounds' or kilos' then I think you can safely assume we know damn well you mean 8 in number SO PLEASE STOP SAYING IT!!!!
