I suppose we say twenty twelve olympics so it would therefore follow on and be twenty ten

You have to wonder whether they debated it in 1010.

Harold shot in eye ten sixtysix not one thousand and sixty six.

I guess we will all be seeing well in the year twenty twenty.

Twenty ten.....we didn't say one thousand nine hundred and ninety nine - we said nineteen ninety nine.....we got side tracked with the year two thousand - it should have been 20 hundred just the same as we had 19 hundred....
