Default 2010

I was watching a news clip on the BBC yesterday and noticed that both the interviewer and the government minister (both British) interviewed referred to 2010 as "twenty ten". I'd probably have said "two thousand and ten". Has anybody else noticed what people are using? Is the "old" system of naming years going to come back after this first decade?
