I was horrified and dismayed at the snide comments made by that Van Tham person (as quoted by Margaret). How condescending his comments were – as if the older generation’s main interest in life and concern (and ability) is to have a game of Bingo – and very demeaning, as if that is all they are capable of doing.

Okay, so I don’t live in a Nursing Home and I don’t play Bingo, but I AM old (very old by some people’s standards) and I take offence at this comment. it might surprise that man to know that so many oldies (me included) actually fill our days with reasonably intelligent pastimes and pursuits, but if I enjoyed Bingo I would play it also. It certainly was an insult the way it was said.
