Many people won't have heard of CEEFAX.
It was what we had before High-speed broadband and Social Media.

Does it prevent your teabag from bouncing?

A mugging suggests we didn't deserve it.

Used to love ceefax for the footy on a Saturday and in midweek. Having said that we didn’t have a great deal of alternatives.

Me and a few mates if the blades weren’t playing gathered in one of our parents houses. William Hills coupon in hand (no on line betting in those days) and flicking through the ceefax pages from 3pm to see where the goals were going in and how our coupons were doing.

One that will haunt me forever was when my coupon was up with most matches done. Was just waiting for Rangers to finish who were winning 2 1 against Hearts and 60 quid was mine. I should add that in those days I was on a training scheme earning about 30 quid a week.

I asked my mate to flick back onto the page where the jocks games were and just as he did it showed a 94th minute equaliser for Hearts.

Took me about 2 weeks to friggin get over it.

Anyway I digress. Great mug

Booked many a holiday via ceefax. Used to take about an hour to cycle through the pages, by which time the £89 holiday to Crete had gone and you’re starting again

 

[Cerberus Blade]

Anyone remember what the ITV version of CEEFAX was called?

Haven't you heard DB,VAR has started in Scotland and they're backdating it,and have decided that Hearts goal now doesn't stand! Hope you kept your ticket...

Forgotten all about bamboozle. I used to be a regular on there as well. One Friday went to the local pub quiz and they’d taken all the questions from that weeks bamboozle which I’d been on a couple of days earlier

Needless to say I romped it

It was Oracle,and Bamboozle was on channel 4..

You used to know the answers before as the numbers rotated at the top so it was impossible to lose

Get in mate thanks for letting me know. It was only about 30 years ago so i’ll have a quick look through my jeans pockets tonight

 

[Plymouthblade]

Red blue yellow or green press them all quick the one with a different number pop up was correct Many a happy a day playing bzmboozle

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

I suspect a Leeds 0-1 Blades would also sell well

As would a Forest semi final one...

 

[eastsussexblade]

The ITV version was Oracle (teletext)

You are a cad and a cheat Sir!

(I don’t suppose you have any beer tokens remaining that you could pass my way?)

That’s the one! Well done! I’d forgotten that!

Which were best though?

I guess there’s only one way to find out...

Can’t even remember what the prize was and I’d not even be sure that the pub is still open.

Other then that of course I will buddy. Drop em off for you next home game

Watching United on CEEFAX during the Adkins season was better viewing than being at the match itself.

 

[Rufus Smalls]

Was it CEEFAX page 300 for the sports index ??

 

[Digs blade]

Page 401 rings a bell but might be miles off

 

[Deadly_D'Jaffo]

401 was football page.

 

[Razor1967]

Was it CEEFAX page 300 for the sports index ??

Yes, 300 for general sport, 302 for football.

Teletext Holidays was my Jonathon forte, find a deal, then get the phone numbers off all of them on there and play them against each other on the phone
