UK Taxman is Still Bingo Bashing
Bingo is the UK’s most favoured leisure pursuit, but this does not seem to bother the tax man in the least. With more than 8.5 million people in the UK playing bingo on an annual basis, the tax man seems to want to get his fair share and then some!
£9,000 Bingo Dispute Settled
I think it was last week or the week before that we reported a dispute, where seventy year old Mrs. Uda Banks was playing bingo at her local Coventry Gala Bingo and she called bingo on the full house, but the caller continued with the game and another player went on to win the prize money.
Sheffield Bingo Winner Still in Shock
A Sheffield woman who has been playing bingo ever since she was old enough to play is in shock after having won the National bingo prize in the Mecca Bingo Club in Flat Street, Sheffield.
Are Men Being Edged Out of the Bingo Market Because of Unfavourable Advertising?
With much news in the press about bingo changing its demographic to younger women and men and no longer just to housewives and pensioners. It has come across that in terms of advertising for bingo in the UK, the market the advertisers are targeting is still only women and some bingo news writers feel that the ad companies are doing online or land-based bingo out of 50% of their potential market.
More Big Bingo Winners on the New UK National Game
The new National Bingo game is proving very lucky for some UK bingo players and the latest in a string of winners is a seventy-one year old grandmother from Hastings.
The lucky lady and her husband were playing bingo at their local Delux in Pelham Place last weekend, when they won The Platinum prize of £326,508 plus the National Game prize of £11,590 as well as the Regional prize of £1,451. She completed her full house in forty-two calls and this was the lowest number of calls in the entire network of 470 bingo clubs nationwide.
She says that when they announced she had won, she was trembling from the soles of her feet to the tips of her fingers, and her mind was spinning. The first thing her husband asked was if he could buy a new car and they went out and ordered a brand new Vauxhall Mervia. The balance of the win will also be put to good use as the couple have already given £100,000 to family members and are planning to visit their son in New Zealand as he moved there to live four years ago and the couple haven’t had the money to visit. Well now they do, and if they like they will be able to go once a year for a very long time!
Local Calling Bingo While Friends Mourn His Passing
A local war hero from Stalybridge, Manchester, was calling bingo numbers at his nursing home, while former colleagues at the local council where he once worked were observing a minutes silence as they believed he had passed on.
The gentleman who once worked with them was a veteran of World War II and when his colleagues heard that Jack Brooks, aged eighty-four, had passed away they believed it to be their colleague.
Meanwhile the real Jack Brooks that they knew and loved was busily entertaining his fellow nursing home inmates in a rousing game of bingo. The former commander of Stalybridge, when asked about his feelings towards the fact that his mates believed he had passed on was, “I have been feeling a little bit under the weather recently, but I am very happy to say that I am not quite dead yet!”
It seems to me that Mr. Jack Brooks, is probably enjoying the health benefits of playing bingo, after all it has been said that bingo keeps your mind young, and the socialising aspects of playing bingo have been propounded as having a really good effect on the health of the elderly.
