DJBrenton 738 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Back in the 80's when the Elite was a bingo hall, I had an American stay with me who had a rather dry sense of humour. We were waiting for a bus at the side of the post office and he asked what the building opposite was. I told him it was a bingo hall. For a while he looked up at the classical statues near the roofline and eventually said ' So are they the great bingo winners from the past?' I still don't know if he was serious. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
