Nigel, look what you made me do!
I was writing "There're two S's..."
then wondered whether "there're" usage is correct or not..
According to http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/12865/is-therere-similar-to-theres-a-correct-contraction, it looks like a deep discussion
I will revise as "there are two ..." and move along!
Should I thank you for making me curious or be sad for my 5 minutes?
"There're" is not a word form I can remember seeing even in US publications, where phonetic spelling is much more common than in the real written English language.
In this case I would probably do as was suggested in the link, "There Are" ... or change the structure to allow the more common "There's"
rather than ... "There're towels in the cupboard" would be ... There are towels in the cupboard" or even ... "There's a number of towels in the cupboard"
