Extract

What is the most popular sport in Britain?—Fishing? Crown green bowling? Camel-racing? No. I conjecture that it is Bingo! No longer do Auntie Maud, Auntie Flo and Granny drag Mum off to the local dance-hall on a Saturday night—instead they troop eagerly down to the EMI Bingo-hall, with the likes of Vera Duckworth, Ivy Tilsley and Ida Clough.
