As regular readers will know, there's nothing we like more than a new neologism. Pardon the tautology. A cracker was recently brought to our attention. It seems that bus drivers on certain routes have taken to calling gaggles of early-morning old dears 'Twirlies'. Why 'Twirly'? Because, free bus passes only becoming valid at 9.30, they are in the habit of greeting drivers with the cry: 'Am I too early'? 

Kind regards
