So, Half Past Seven.
If you want me to speak Stoke, I can.
Dunna wurry about that, duck. I aren't even bothered. Half past seven is funny? Now I have Catherine Tate in my head... Are you sure it wasn't "half seven"? People definitely say half past in the US, but my family made faces when I left out the "past".

I had to look up "white van men," but happily, it was what I suspected it might be.
