ANNIE \'OLDEST BINGO CALLER IN TOWN\'

The sprightly pensioner calls the numbers in the twice-weekly bingo game at her sheltered housing scheme in Wolverhampton.
Meanwhile, she told the newspaper it is "awful" that the town's Mecca Bingo Online hall could be closed.

The decision is said to be inspired by the forthcoming smoking ban, which bosses believe could drive down attendance at land-based bingo halls.
