The BBC one seemed to be only factual, things like news stories and sports results. ITV had one with other things, including a supposed diary of a teenager, which was nothing like Adrian Mole’s secret dairy.

Pre internet it was useful. My parents used to check the weather and things like the lottery numbers.

Page 303 for the football scores, then not paying attention when it flicked to the page you wanted. Kids will never know.

We actually learned how to program Teletext pages in our school computing classes. Those were some good times.
I only ever used teletext to play Bamboolzed when I was young

Many hours wasted on the 600 pages with the general chats, music chats, and music reviews. They updated 1x a day so it was a whole event. Also, charts.

I used to like catching the late night/early morning “Pages from CEEFAX” with the chill music. There are loads on YouTube, like this one, which I have the CD for. https://youtu.be/Pna4-BcHE4w

Remember watching Test Cricket with my brother before school on Ceefax. I think Mum felt bad for us both and thankfully gave into getting sky Sports!
