The title may be a little unfair, but the old girl in perfect alignment on the far right, slumped
against the wall waiting for a bus, was not in the best of health or stamina, much like these
old petrol pumps outside a disused garage on the Snowdonia road just outside Caernarfon.
I thought of retouching them back to their original spotless nick, leaving the ironic wreck of
the shed behind them, but then thought better of it. 'Twerly' was a nickname allocated to all
those old-age pensioners, sorry - senior citizens, who in London would try to get on the
buses before their 'free-from' time of 9:30 am. "Am I too early?" The name sort of stuck,
but I don't know if it ever reached this far corner of North Wales, and I don't know how
'Twerly' would translate into their impenetrable Welsh language up here either.
