THERES LITTLE EVIDENCE BINGO WAS EVER PLAYED IN ANCIENT EGYPT. BUT IT PROBABLY HAPPENED.

And it was a very slow affair.
Firstly their numbers were very different. They had to use Heiroglyphs, each one chiselled into a nearby block of stone for the eager crowd to see. Games went on for days. And you had to shout "Pyramid" rather than "House"

No such issue at the Grey Horse Bingo. 7:30ish, every Tuesday night, and done by 10. High tech, high resolution calling gear and Philip Richardson at the helm.
