As a German Shepherd, I prefer "Neunhundert Achtundzwanzig". But really, what do they call it in Germany ?? Hope a Euro member chimes in...

I say nine two eight. I actually started doing so after hearing how badass it sounded when brother Heinrich said it that way. Of course, he has the South Afrikan accent which isn't far from an English accent.

SA accent is as far from BBC newsreader English as Scouse (Liverpool), Geordie (Newcastle) is. By comparison, run of the mill US American (along with OZ or NZ) is about half as far away from BBC English.
