Ceefax Unwrapped telling me the five pages I’ve used most this year:
1) Top 40, numbers 40-31
2) Subtitles for Scooby Doo to see how they spell his dialogue
3) Pic of Len Murray made out of pound signs
4) Subtitles for New Shmoo (see 2)
5) Pic of Norman Willis made out of ampersands

For some reason I've updated sub-TV for the first time in 20 years (and that is not an exaggeration) - I've brought it into the 21st Century by converting it to Node, but you'll be pleased to know I've not changed the turn-of-the-century aesthetic. Videos are inline now! www.sub-tv.co.uk

Annual Quality Street audit done. As usual, poor show on the ABC triangles and chock-a-blocks, loads of the strawberry ones and blue ones I don’t like. 2kg tin @inequalitystreet.bsky.social
