We’re fresh out of the Noughties (or not, as the case may be), and – as is our wont as humans desperately in search of figuring out the names of things – we were wondering this morning what nomenclature we should be applying to the decade ahead (that is if you believe that a new decade started this year, not last).
So far suggestions are as follows:
The Tenties – via @Pockless, @chrisbell and @kiphakes – (currently in the lead)
Miss @Lorna_Wall suggests that The Tweenies might be a suitable name (although these guys may have a problem with that)
‘Elevensies‘ – via the the rather comedic ex’head, @_EISwann
Mark Errett suggests that while ‘Tennies‘ might be a good name, he’s fairly sure that the people of 1910 never had this problem (he could be right).
‘The Lost Decade‘ is an interesting entry from one Mr Alan Hind, although we’d like to see some more reasoning behind this choice – i.e.: where will it be lost? Is there an island? Etc.
Finally, a late entry from one Benjamin Crime; THE FUTURE!
New Years (and new decades) always seem to get us talking; tomorrow? Resolutions.
Until then:
WHAT ARE YOU CALLING THIS DECADE THAT WE’RE IN?
These are the Tweens !

The Tweens you say? On what authority man? 😉
They're the one-ders.
Haven't seen too many references to “the pubies”, which is perhaps just as well…
