        Apparently, the head of Ceefax outranked the BBC Director General in parking space pecking order, too!

        Love how the full product name on the Play School cardboard box is discreetly and partially obscured. Those were the days!

        I love it how you could (just about) read teletext on off-air programme recordings made on S-VHS. You could watch a news story unfolding in real time as the TV recording replayed!
