Do I correctly use "twenty-something" in this way?
Does the terms "twenty-something", "thirty-something" and so on only describe age? "an unspecified age between twenty and thirty", this is the interpretation of google.
Can I use this term like:
(1) I bought thirty-something oranges in TESCO.
(2) I got sixty-something points in the last exam, but I forget the exact number.
And what's the difference between "twenty-something" and "twenty-odd"?
Thank you very much.

Day 1: A street-food is opened near where I live
There is a street-food takeaway called "Four Spice" opened near where I live. I bought a meal there when I came back from campus today. I ordered a Classical Gourmet Beef Burger, a Cheesy Chips and a can of diet coke. I have to say that the beef burger there is really delicious, is much better than the one in Mcdonalds. The beef is thick enough. And the price is also cheaper. Although it took me a while for waiting, it worth! I think I will recommend it to my flatmates.

How to respond " Is that everything" or " Anything else" in store?
I just moved to the U.K, sometimes I will be asked: "Is that everything?" or " Anything else" when I do the payment in a store or in a fast food restaurant. I just simply say "yes" or "no“. But I not sure whether it is polite. What would a native English speaker say to respond?
