Re: bingo
Nobody will question her nationality or whether she's a citizen or permanent resident. Tell her to go and enjoy herself.

Re: bingo
You're in Lanzarote and you come to Toronto on holiday. Isn't that the wrong way around?

Re: bingo
Where's the bingo in Toronto? .I bet the old man would like to do that while we're there next month.

Re: bingo
Is bingo popular in Canada? Is it classed as gambling? Could you arrange a bingo night for a school fund raiser? I've never played it, but it seemed to be popular in lots of bits of Europe.

Re: bingo
Does 'proper bingo' actually exist outside the UK?
To be authentic it has to be played in a northern town, in a converted cinema or at the seaside.
Preferably all three.
Oh and you're only allowed to drink pints of bitter (women included) and you must be at least twice the healthy weight for your size.
Chips must be served. In a bap. With margarine.

Re: bingo
I was (probably still am) a bit bemused by its popularity here; I'd never played until I moved here. Twice was enough...

Re: bingo
I volunteer helping at bingo. It's big here.
We are a charity and as we volunteer, we get a share or the profits.....
Where I am, the numbers only go to 75 - no 2 fat ladies here :--(
But like I say, it's big.....

Re: bingo
I remember volunteering at Bingo for cadets. My god it was boring. No chatter or laughter, no 2 fat ladies or legs 11 or two little ducks going on. All very serious.
