Having worked in the bingo industry nearly a decade or so ago It was always a back ally affair, couldn't even advertise on telly, or local press, bingo was nearly flat on its face way back then,

I am so relieved that John Hemming is championing this campaign, bingo is what made Great Britain famous.

Why should an industry thay puts a smile on peoples faces, be in such a disadvantaged position all because of a ruddy excesive tax,
Bingo for many people whether they win or loose, takes them out of the stresses of every day life for a few hours a day, winning money is not the benefit for people to go to these clubs it's the last thing on their mind, they go for the atmoshphere and a good night out.

Cells that are old in a biological sense don't work that well. One of the ways in which cells stop working is they fail to produce the full range of proteins. Generally the proteins that are produced from longer genes stop being produced. The reason for this relates to how the Genes work (the Genome). Because the genome is not gettin
