Yanks are always doing the something-hundred numbering.
Edit: Just tried it, and "a large pink man stick for up the opening" only uses common words.

It does to me too
But "twelve hundred people turned up" sounds fine

Mrs Cabaret is always referring to thousands as tens of hundreds
for large numbers, and I've frequently heard it on the TV, usually in relation to weight e.g. fifteen hundred pounds. Is it not as widespread as I've been led to believe?

well yes, in relation to weight that sounds normal, especially in numbers ending in 00
but ten hundred sounds very wrong.
