	Clive  +  507657 Wed, 30 Apr 08 01:04 PM Hi, I spoke on the phone to someone in the UK recently, who said 'triple O'. In N. America, I never hear this use of double or triple. I'd say three zero zero zero or possibly three thousand. But if I say three thousand, the listener might ask me to repeat what I just said.
