Age Concern
"Age Concern" says the "one armed bandit" in one of our local pubs - and watching the display on the screen, it tells us that 20% of the proceeds go to the Age Concern Charity. Good for them - I suppose - if they're happy to be funded by the profits from gambling; it's probably quite a good sales line for the machine too as it allows the inebriated prime-of-life customers to quietly feed in more money than they might otherwise, and leave with a clear conscience that they're doing something for Mum or Auntie too. But my age concern was different; it's a family / food pub and the machine is in a public area. I saw this picture (which I did NOT snap, for privacy reasons) ... a young girl - of perhaps 9 - playing with the machine. Not feeding money into it; just playing the buttons. But me thinks that this was not the "Age Concern" that the manufacturers had intended to provoke. (written 2008-08-07 06:18:41)
