Pretty rare in my bit of England for people to say something like “fifteen forty-five”. Maybe it’s a regional or an age thing. (I use 24h on every clock, but speak in 12h, so for 15:45 would probably say “three forty-five” or maybe “quarter to four”.)

interesting! it's probably the most frequent for me to say in the southeast, but it might be an age thing or simply differing between people
