I use it, mostly for checking the results of ongoing soccer matches.

The use of Ceefax has been very very influential since it's like a early form of the internet on your TV. The travel news on Page 162 (ITV) used to have a simplified map of the M25 motorway with the type of problems coloured into it. 888 must be the most memorable number because that was where the subtitles were, and very helpful for the hearing impaired. Pages 700-799 only got used for the General Election results back in '05 since there were too many constituencies to fit into the news service between 101-199. Channel 4 used to run a game called Bamboozle which used pages with letters (such as 14A). In 2002 there were also a few test pages I came across on ITV pages 699, 704, 705 and 799.

Oh... teletext memories... I can contrubute as well. Did anyone else love to find out the text pages on the last pages? I liked to do that as a child. Or read the subtitles on 150 in the state owned stations and noticed how they differed from what was actually said.
