watching penalty shootouts on teletext was very much ftw

weekday evening footy always used to be funny as they'd keep getting the scores wrong. you just knew that no-one wanted to stay late and do it so they left the work experience kid to handle it on his own

In the late 80s they used to do a live quiz thing on teletext every week - was that digitizer?

Digitiser was the video games section run by Mr Biffo. It occasionally contained some video game related content. It mainly involved irrelevent stuff tho, such as pressing reveal to see Mr T warn kids to stay away from his bins. Oh, and the Snakes too.

I remember the excitement when we got a new telly which had the ability to show two pages of ceefax side by side - it meant I could have the whole of the league table on the screen at the same time.

Ooooooh spot the rich kid.

I had no idea that was possible, I've still to this day never seen it. are you sure you're not thinking of an episode of the jetsons?
