Memories of Ceefax/Teletext

[Crouchinho]

Anyone used to love browsing through that back in the day!?

For many years I begged the old man to get a telly with it. We used to watch the scores come in at Dixon's on a Saturday while we waited for the bloody mum to finish window shopping

It really was like the beginning of the internet and free!!

I was trying to think of the name of the quiz as I read the OP and post 2 didn't disappoint.

Booked loads of holidays off that, can remember the frantic rush to hit the pause button. My first trip to the states was a fly drive off there, for the mighty sum of £175 for 2 weeks. Can’t get a train ticket to London for that these days.

It was the shit rhyming ‘catchy’ little headlines that used to get me, like ‘Joe says it’s a no go for Flo’ and suchlike.

Id be reading them looking for a bargain 2 weeker in Greece / Turkey / Canaries..... youd see a good offer on on Page 4 / 35 and before I was able to grab the pen and write the number down it would be on page 5 and I'd sit there until it got back round to page 4....
