Whoops I seem to have run out of #NationalTeletextDay and didn't get around to doing any posts.
Oh well, every day is teletext day on this account anyway ๐
Old screen grab from the BBC Sport app, Football section. See your Ceefax report published A mocked-up Ceefax page, which reads: 312 CEEFAX 1 312 Tue 23 Sep 16:32 BBC FOOTBALL How to write a report in Ceefax The top paragraph of a really good Ceefax match report should endeavour to tell the key story of the match, such as who scored the winner. It should also say which sides are playing and why it matters, for example if a win means promotion for a team. The next three paragraphs should describe in as much detail as possible every goal and the major incidents. Write four paragraphs totalling about 80 words, with a minimum of two lines and a maximum of four. Below the Ceefax page: Graphic supplied by Nik Horne Send us your report from one of Tuesday's League Cup matches - taking into account the guidance in the picture above - using the form below. We will publish a selection of these on the website on Wednesday. Note this is available on the desktop site
#NationalTeletextDay memory.
A double duvet cover on a bed, which has a print of a CEEFAX page on it. The text of the duvet reads: "YOU ARE WATCHING ITEMS OF NEWS AND INFORMATION FROM CEEFAX THE BBC'S TELETEXT SERVICE The full service offers several hundred pages and is available to anyone with a suitably-equipped television set."
Completely forgot that it was #NationalTeletextDay today!
*presses REVEAL on the duvet cover*
#OnThisDay 2017 : The first #NationalTeletextDay premiered at that other place.
An annual event seen every year since 2017 although for me this year, I'm having a rest. ๐
Looks like the hashtag is still in use which is fab.

Teletext depiction of Bongo from the Streets of Rage series flying through the air like a bat. For a big dude he is quite acrobatic, flinging his feet above his head as he dives forward, stomach-first. Logo underneath says 'Bongo Airlines, Wood Oak City'.
#WeeklyTeletextArt for #NationalTeletextDay #Teletext50!
Prompt: โ๏ธ #Airborne
It's Bongo from #StreetsOfRage2 again, this time performing his... uh... aeroplane lunge or something? I dunno, I just think he's funny.

To celebrate here are the actual VT clocks* used before Pages from CEEFAX went out, depending on the channel.
*Not the actual VT clocks, as that would be silly.
Let's not forget those hard-hitting news reports. #NationalTeletextDay
