Look at this - holidays on teletext almost from the very start! Packed it, booked it... (1978)
@grim_fandango I worked on Ceefax and installed the teletext systems in Austria (subtitling), Chicago and Cincinnati. I upgraded Ceefax from 2 lines to 4 lines at TV Centre in White City. ORF Teletext airport page was fed by Vienna Airport arrivals and departures and was more up-to-date than the airport system displays so in the end they put some TV monitors on the Teletext page at the airport. 😁
@grim_fandango @teletextr I remember the name. It is 35+ years ago!!
@peterwhisker Would you be interested in being on a podcast to talk about your teletext work? A friend of mine runs it. An example is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLygv1GpIBU
@grim_fandango Possibly! It's a long time ago so my recollection is a bit hazy but let me take a look at the podcast. I'm currently at ringing practice at Sunbury Church tower!
@peterwhisker Carl's a lovely chap. He basically asks one or two questions and lets you just talk :-) If you'd prefer more targeted questions we can do that, or alternatively we can chat over email :-) jason@teletextarchaeologist.org
@peterwhisker wow, sounds like my ideal job! I’d love to hear more about your work. Would you be up for expanding on these? Did you know Mort Smith? @teletextr
