An astonishing fact

You know when you are reading decimal numbers?

You know how you say 25.25 and 125.125 as twenty-five point two five and one hundred and twenty-five point one two five ?

Well in France you say vingt-cinq virgule vingt-cinq and cent vingt-cinq virgule cent vingt-cinq.

Poor Gwilym. When he told me I wouldn't believe him, but then a chap I got into conversation with on the tram confirmed it.
