I remember the first time I saw CEEFAX - was at a Science Museum exhibit mid/late 1970s. I don't remember us or anyone for that matter having it in a domestic TV set until much later.

I think my neighbour might have had it in the late 70s.

Extra points if you remember the red ones!
Interesting thing----- for some reason, WA ones had a different roof to the ones I saw in the ES (At least in Vic, not sure about NSW).
The WA ones had a roof like a miniature version of the old "Colonel Sander's" buildings, whereas the others looked like a "burger bun"--much more similar to UK ones.
Even older, if you remember "push button A, or push button B".
Older again, if you ever used a "maggy phone"!
