Its the social bit i like, They know we are cyclist, we went in on Sunday it was a bit quiet, but the lady running the bar, asked if we wanted to watch the cycling on sky. They have provided a safe place for our bikes if we turn up on them, They have not seen us in lycra yet, will probably raise a few eye brows till they get used to us. Its all good stuff, Next evening down there is a cheese and wine tasting evening, But am looking forward to the summer barbecue. And on top of that the beer is cheap as well.
Between the four of us we won about £65.00, there was a few comments made by a couple of regulars.
This in spades. In my late teens I was the main caller at the Ladbrokes bingo hall in Felixstowe. If any newcommer dared to sit in the "queens'" seats on the stage there was hell to pay. And should a non-regular win one of the bigger full houses...I worked a couple of nights a week at a small hall in Largs(the wet place), Star Bingo, a long, long time ago..
Oh boy, it is serious stuff,
someone would call and off I'd go and shout to the caller who'd double check the winning numbers and as the hall had an upstairs, I was constantly asked 'Who is it?' and the bitchy comments normally followed, like 'She never comes often' and that was the nicest
If the 'snowball' was won , it was hell if you weren't a regular....
tips were okay though..
and they played for what would now be termed coppers..
and those elderly women?
