The Telegraph recently published a story about an elderly woman who was banned from her local bingo hall due to telling risqué jokes. Patricia Brown has frequented the bingo hall in Swadlincote for the last twenty five years and during that time she has told jokes to have fun. But in her recent visit, Brown was telling jokes and the Presidnet of the club was behind her and did not appreciate her jokes.

The president complained about Brown’s behavior and she was banned from the bingo hall. The Telegraph stated that Brown was looking forward to her trips to the bingo hall so she does not have to be home alone but unfortunately the ban will keep her in her home.

Brown suffers from many health problems and has trouble going long distances but the bingo hall was just a minute away so she was easily able to visit without any trouble. For now Mrs. Brown will just have to stay home. Hopefully the bingo hall will come to their senses and take away the ban.
