'in branch'

[MaryAnnSingleton]

As in ' come and talk to an advisor in branch' - used all the time in building society/bank ads - horrible

'in back'
It's American I think MaryAnn

It does sound inelegant.

'in back' as in 'in back of car' ? eek...

I reckon it's from 'in store'
eg in-store bakery etc

With Mrs B on this, but should be properly hypenated... in-house, in-store...
