In this article, we are going back to the old school and giving you a list of terms used to call bingo numbers. With political correctness as it is, some of these terms are not in use any longer, but we thought it would be interesting to list them anyway – for posterity.  Incidentally, these are the terms used for the British-type 90-ball bingo, rather than the American-type 75-ball bingo.

 

A few of the terms are particularly old fashioned, such as 26 being Bed and Breakfast. This refers to the costs of traditional overnight lodging, which was 2 shillings 6 pence, or two and six.

 

80 is quite interesting,  Gandhi's Breakfast was a representation of the Ariel view of Gandhi eating breakfast, which would be empty, part of his ‘total nonviolence’ ethic used to overthrow the British government in India through passive revolution.

 

Another interesting one to note is 59 Brighton Line; this was the number bus service from London to Brighton during mid 20th century.
