    Hey is anyone old enough to remember when TVs had Teletext? I used to like fiddling around with it when we first got a tv with it ( I was about 10 or 12 maybe). There was a stock market page that was insanely busy.

      I accidentally pressed the button and got stuck in teletext on an older TV the other week… buggered if I could figure my way back out of those options, but it’s still there.

        I remember getting stuck too! I did something which made it split screen with Teletext and couldn’t fix it quickly enough for my parents liking, who were heightening my fumbling by shouting angrily 😂
