Hi all, I was at a social event tonight and, during the interval bingo session, the bingo caller was calling out all the well known slangs for his numbered balls. I.E. Two little ducks 22. Lucky for some , number 7. two dozen 24. legs 11, one and one, eleven, any way up, 6 and 9, 69! Then he started calling 2 and oh, blind 20. or 5 and oh, blind 50! I found this offensive, but didn't like to say so at this time. He kept it up, lucky for some, number 7. One little duck, all alone, number 2. Unlucky for some, one and three. 13. Eight and oh, Blind Eighty! One and oh, blind ten! I thought, what is it with this blind thing. I can take blind alley, blind date, blind chance, I can understand this in this day and age. But I thought, when it comes to bingo parlours, in 2006, haven't they come around to something more acceptable than calling blind 50 for five and oh? Or blind forty for four an doh? I wonder if any of you have been to a bingo parlour and, if so, have you experienced such calling by the bingo caller? The caller in question was on a small scale as far as bingo consessions are concerned, , being an interlude entertainment for a country dance event. Still, I found his calling offensive and just wanted to ask the list if I'm being O T T? If not, should I write a letter? Or should I just drop it and move on.
