Must be springtime already in Europe

And mainland Europe are always an hour ahead of us.

Nooo. That means an hour less of CEEFAX music and Bamboozle.

Good god, CEEFAX music is a real blast from my childhood past!!

That was back in the days when downtime on both BBC 1 and BBC 2 was more commonplace, even during the day.

Ditto for original ITV and (possibly) early Channel 4.

Pretty much unthinkable now in this age of 24/7 multichannel TV!!

Then again, I think less was often more in TV world back in the pre-90s era.

CEEFAX was like the early WWW. A distribution platform across the air waves. A really genius idea that was later replaced for BBC's "red button" during the early days of the digital TV era. The music was generally classed as "elevator music", I found the modern Jazz that would play on ITV and C4 was awesome.

I think ITV and C4 started putting up job adverts on there. A really cool idea that could still work today.

CEEFAX has been replaced by Tommy Walshe's "Paint Pad Pro" that repeats constantly until you wake up.

Wait, did your clock go BACK 20 years?

I have Bernard's watch, and a 50 pence piece that when I rub its nose I get a wish.
