Lol! I use it all the time. And RD is right. It's gone down the pan big time this last week or two. It's plain rubbish now.

Yeah guess I'm a dinosaur
Just shows the contempt shown by BBC for lower leagues

To be fair to them Teletext is long outdated. It's much more efficient to update stuff on the lower leagues online. It's a bit like complaining that they didn't release The Dark Knight Rises on VHS. It's being phased out, why would they devote more time than they need to on it?

Pretty sure if they can write an article online they can trim it down on the red button. It's first thing I look at when I get in from work. Was gutted when itv stopped theirs last year

Teletext is/was ok.
But the Teleprinter typing out scores was really special and exciting.

They just assume everybody is on the internet,not everybody wants to be,very disrespectful to the customer paying their money for the service the BBC provides,and suddenly the information on the text pages get's watered down,channel 4 nothing at all now,but their service isn't paid for in the tv licence,a sad loss of information that used to be available at the click of a button

The fact is nowadays very few people are not on the internet. It is as commonplace as a television in this day and age.

What an amazing "fact". Of course like most facts on here it's rubbish as the National Statistics show that over seven million adults have never used the internet in the UK.

8 track was better than cassette. Beta max was better than VHS. Analogue is better than digital TV - you always get a frozen picture, no matter what the aerial man does. Ludditism rules! ;o)

Its the branding and marketing that moves people to new 'better' versions that are no such thing. Betamax was always far better quality than VHS, but their manufacturers couldn't match the marketing of the bigger VHS-promoting companies.

Page 390 on ceefax (BBC) still gives the same info on local teams for your region.

On the other hand Blu-ray is far better than HD DVD, and Blu-ray won in the end.

Absolutely right.

And vinyl is better than CD....FACT!

Played an 'LP' to Alex a while back. He was completely bloody mystified.... so now I'm playing em more. Despite the CD versions hanging on the wall.

In the next few years I can see all TV's being made with the internet on them. I know there has been talk about it in the past.

I'm having my lounge knocked about this next few weeks. One of the things that's going in is a phone line near the television ready for the day. (I don't do wireless. Sick to death of the bloody thing! Hopeless).
