Culture:
In Britain bingo used to be thought of as a game for older people but is now popular also with the young. In the 1970s many large buildings such as cinemas were converted into bingo halls. It was traditional to have special names for numbers as they were read out. For example, 66 was ‘clickety-click’ and 88 was ‘two fat ladies’. Now the numbers are produced by a computer and the old names are rarely used.

Example Bank:
•Tuesdays are bingo night at the club.
