Me and the missus in vegas Yes, you have read correctly, this will be the very last post on ‘Brett’s corner’!!!! After 2 and a half years of comment and criticism on everything bingo I have decided to pack away the laptop and switch off the wireless (metaphorically speaking, of course-I can’t possibly cope without […]

Here’s a story in the Kent area about a bingo hall in Maidstone that was victim to an attempted break in by two teenagers aged 16 and 17…….. …..Dressed in camoflague they first tried to break into an upper entrance before giving up and scaling the rooftops to try to find access that way……..with no […]

Not so long ago we had the most people ever playing a game of bingo……how do we better that? By having the Worlds HIGHEST game of bingo ever played!!!!! A bingo manager has set themselves the challenge of reaching the highest point in the World (which is Mount Everest and not Blackpool tower as some […]

A few months ago we heard about a play in the north of England that depicted life in the bingo halls. You were even given a bingo ticket as an audience member and could win a ‘fantastic prize’ during the show! Well this weekend there was a performance of another bingo related play at London’s […]

We have another tale here of disgruntled customer vs the bingo hall’s. This time it involves a situation where the prize board had the incorrect amount displayed on it and the customer receives a lesser amount.

Did you say ‘Free’? I hope you did! If you thought of any other four letter word then you are just naughty!! ‘Free’ is always a word that fills us with joy: from the promoters in the street who give you free samples of products, to the little known websites that offer free mobile ring […]

One of my pet hates about bingo advertising……actually ALL advertising……..is when the adverts deliberately cloud the promotion….making the consumer think that they are getting something when in fact they are not. Do you remember when you were a kid at the funfair and you went on one of those stalls where you would have to […]

Another club shut down this week, this time in Scotland; one of the most bingo loving parts of the United Kingdom. It’s pleasing to know though that the club was packed out for it’s final night making sure that it would close down with a bang rather than a whimper. The other good thing is […]

When another bingo club closes in the country (which seems to be on a weekly basis at the moment) you not only lose out on your bingo playing fun; you also lose out on a valuable resource for the community. I’m not talking to the young players who visit the club once or twice a […]

Hello again, Sorry folk’s about not posting for a while…..it’s been a busy time with me as I have been moving house and visiting the family back in Bognor Regis: I am now away from the rather weird sounding Fishponds area of Bristol and am living in the more Regal sounding ‘Kingswood’. After rearranging rooms, […]
