It's already gone for the majority of people, whilst I can't remember the last time I used it, I think it's quite a significant moment with it being switched off.

Can remember playing bamboozle or something as a child, then finally using it for footy scores and holidays stc

302 for the footy, 154 for technology and 500 for entertainment

I used it to see when sex education was on the Learning Zone when I was 15, so I could stay up late and set the VHS.

Ah! Bamboozle. Those were the days. Saturday's one was a kids one so was easier. I'm going to miss it.

I remember when I was a kid, Dad and I would get home and the TV would be straight on, he'd have half an hour on teletext, looking at the price of shares, checking the weather etc, he did it religiously
