We read often that bingo players save the day in one way or another, but in the same breath we read that bingo players often make soft targets for bullying thieves or muggers. With International Women’s Day recently celebrating is 100th Anniversary; this young girl would make an ideal example of how the times are changing. Perhaps she should even be considered for a special award, because goodness knows what she did could have actually been dangerous. One elderly bingo player a couple of months ago even tackled a gang or robbers trying to break the plate-glass window of a jewellery shop.
Recently reported in the South Wales Echo, Doris Driscoll is 62, and has not been bitten by the online bingo bug as yet. She still enjoys a few games down at her local club in Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales. While going about her own business and entering her local bingo hall she was mugged and her handbag stolen, but the robber didn’t count on the lady’s trusty granddaughter being so close by. She gave chase and caught the dirty rotten scoundrel, making sure that Phillip Andrew Emery is now spending three years as a guest of her Majesty the Queen – behind bars. One wonders; does crime pay?
Any other rotter’s thinking of making this bingo club and the ladies who play there a soft target will think twice now! They never know if they are going to be caught and tackled to the ground by a young woman. Imagine how embarrassing that must be for this bloke in jail. Caught by a lass – a mere slip of a girl for trying to steal her granny’s bingo playing money, if he’d had half a brain he would have waited until someone was leaving the club, not entering it?! He certainly got more than he bargained for at bingo that day I’ll wager!
