Bingo calls go PC
In a traditional game of bingo there are 90 numbers however there are far more bingo calls than that used in both land based and online bingo. However if some Councillors get their way, the bingo calls will go PC (politically correct) if newspaper articles over the last couple of days are anything to go by!
Even the Daily Mail ran with the story yesterday, fuelled by a statement from a bingo caller who had been asked to drop 'two fat ladies' and 'legs eleven' from the calls made at his local bingo hall for fear of court action.
This is beyond the ridiculous because whilst a small minority may take offence, short of the bingo caller standing and pointing at two rotund ladies in the bingo hall, who could be so upset by a game of bingo that they would feel the need to consult a solicitor.

How long before the world of online bingo is affected by this?

- Number 15 - Young and Keen - could be consider ageist with an implication that the elderly aren't keen
- Number 28 - Overweight - could lead to litigation from anyone consider medically overweight
- Number 67 - Made in Heaven - may offend the non-believers amongst us
