BINGO: OAP's number is up

Monday June 22,2009

By Darren McCaffrey

A 96-YEAR-OLD woman has been banned from a chain of bingo halls after punching the assistant manager in the face.

Gala Bingo has now put a permanent ban on the pensioner from visiting any of their branches after the incident in Pollok, Glasgow.

It all started when the OAP saw another member was sitting at her favourite table.

It’s believed she threatened the woman with violence unless she moved, and staff stepped in to calm the situation. But instead of pacifying the pensioner, the assistant manager was punched in the eye.

A source at the club, where the old lady is a regular, said: “This OAP is well known for her temper. She can throw a good left hook for someone of her age.”

A spokeswoman for Gala said: “After lengthy discussions, we decided this lady would have to be ejected and prevented from attending any of our bingo halls in the future.

This incident was shocking from someone that age. We cannot allow staff to be verbally or physically abused.”
