There is not a bus driver in the land who has not heard someone, somewhere, ask, "Am I too early?". Over the decades this has morphed into, "Am I twirly?".

  John Flynn from Burton Joyce argues that there could be more flexibility in older people's bus passes. I suppose that there are arguments about whether concessionary bus passes should be issued at all.
