Overview
- A poll of 2,000 UK adults released in mid‑June found 36% picked the 1990s as their favourite decade, ahead of the 1980s on 27%.
- Respondents said they prefer the 1990s for a simpler way of life, better music and entertainment, less screen time, and more face‑to‑face socialising.
- Iconic 1990s touchstones driving the result include Friends (37%), the Spice Girls (31%), Game Boys (20%) and Saturday‑morning TV (25%).
- Bingo clubs report changing demographics, with about 45% of new members under 35 and roughly 69% saying bingo is no longer just for older generations.
- The Bingo Association commissioned the survey and is using the findings to promote National Bingo Week (June 22–28) and a guaranteed £250,000 jackpot on June 28, a development that could further boost footfall in local clubs.
