Today while sitting in a McDonald's, one of the staff (they all know me!) came up and started chatting. He told me he was a train-spotter, and called himself a 'gricer'. Now isn't life strange? I've just read the last few posts on here, and 'gricer' has come up again. I'd never met this word before.
The bingo caller is very important to ones enjoyment of the game. I go to three different local bingos, and one is called by a nice lady, but she's a bit robotic and lacks enthusiasm. One has to say it's nice of her to do it as a volunteer, but the whole thing falls a bit flat.
My own village one is called by a nice chap, but he makes mistakes and causes a few problems.
The other one at Elsing is called by an ex-RAF chap who has a great sense of humour and makes the whole thing fun. He has the room 'under control' (he was an Officer, and it shows!) and cracks jokes to keep the interest going.
