BINGO fans have launched a campaign to protect traditional number calls after a hall was banned from saying "two fat ladies".
The fun phrase has been used for decades to describe 88 - because the figures resemble a pair of large women.
But ex-mayor John Sayers, 75, was ordered by Sudbury Council, Suffolk, to drop it from his weekly town hall sessions because it might upset overweight players - despite getting no complaints.
Rob Hutchinson, of onlinebingoclub.co.uk, fears politically correct meddlers and Eurocrats will target other number phrases. He has started a petition to preserve them.
By last night it had 3,000 signatures. Rob said: "The call of 'two fat ladies' in bingo is part of our heritage. What's the alternative - 'two generously proportioned people of either gender'?"
Chrissie Maher, founder of the Plain English Campaign, said: "It shouldn't be necessary to mess about with parts of our heritage like bingo slang."

Wait A Minute! Just a few years ago on the "FoodTV" channel, there was show called "The Two Fat Ladies"!
They rode around on a vintage Triumph motorcycle with side car, smoked, drank wine, and went to various schools and clubs and cooked meals. All the lard, butter, good home cooked "un-healthy" meals that we would have dove into.
Ironically one recently died of a heart attack and was replaced, WITH ANOTHER FAT LADY!!!!
Again, the name of the show was "The Two Fat Ladies"......
They will be assimilated, resistance is futile, it will all be just Europe, as individual identity will be erased for the greater PC/UN Mandates.
Disarm them physically, and now verbally,.....

They should have wrapped Clive and Rhodes in copper wire when they died,
The way they are spinning in their graves would light London.
Sledge, I thought the UN was "Dicktaters R US"

One of the really "fun" cooking shows. In case you missed it, it was all British, filmed in the UK. They met one of the Prince's at an army mess tent and prepared all the food using the army kitchen.
It was fun to watch them driving down the left side of the road too. Gave you an eerie feeling. (NOT that there's anything wrong with driving on the left mind you. Or anything wrong with ladies, amply proportioned ladies, driving/riding motorcycles/sidecars. Or anything wrong with British Army field kitchens. Or the royal family......or......)
