It's definitely a UK thing. And 12 is a nicer round number than 10 - ask the Babylonians!

What's so nice about twelve-and-two (12)? Twelve (10) is a much nicer round number.
Though programmers may prefer base two (10) or base twelve-and-four (10).

If you say it in German, it doesn't even sound out of place. Zweiundzwölf, vierundzwölf.
