A truly ingenious British invention.

I missed Ceefax when I moved to Canada - North America never got this (in any meaningful way). Glad the Europeans embraced it, some still have it.

The internet still can't compete for quick footy scores, weather and news headlines, nor can red button.

(Love how they snuck the graphic of the 'worm' being 'sick' past the censor/boss.)

This is a dreadful mistake I tell you, a dreadful mistake.

I used to sit there waiting for the pages to cycle through ... then it would skip one in a blip ... so you'd wait again. Always worth it.

There's nothing to worry about. Nobody under 30 is using Ceefax.
