I need urgent help

Hi,
I am confused about this senence ( from student �s book ).
They reduced the flight time between Jeddah and Riyadh from Two hours twenty minutes to one hour twenty minutes.
I think we should use and between Two hours twenty minutes
one hour twenty minutes.
i.e. we should say : Two hours and twenty minutes
one hour and twenty minutes.
What do you think???
Thanks a lot in advanced,
J |

With or without and sounds equally right to me . |

I think the word "and" can be left out in everyday conversations, but should be used in written speech... Am I wrong??  |

Is this a difference between US and British English?
I wouldn �t leave it out personally, but it sounds OK when I hear it missed out because I �m used to hearing US English. |

I usually pronounce the "and" as �n.
two hours �n twenty minutes (like rock �n roll)
(gosh how lazy we �ve become with our conjunctions!!)
