Our pre-teletext TV gave us such noble service that we didn't replace it
till about 2005, so I missed out on the golden age of teletext. It
wasn't the ability to receive the teletext weather forecasts that I
regretted so much as the cricket scores. You couldn't get up-to-date
scores on the web till about 1997 or 1998.
