An example of usage (I had no phone or Internet at that time).
Say you wanted to view the Formula 1 results , you open the TV, press the Teletext button then you would have to find from a table of content like page the number code/ID for the Formula 1 results , so it could be
311 - Formula 1 results
312 - Formula 1 pilots current points/results
313 - Formula 1 team points/results
football stuff could probably start at
301 - last week football results
302 - football stuff ###
So after you used it a few times you would remember that
sport stuff is starting at 300 , 301 -310 is football
310 -314 Formula 1 etc so you could just do
1 open TV
2 press teletext button
3 enter code from memory 311
4 view the information
Since there was no internet there was no other way to see this data anymore, so it was the only information on demand we had.
There was also a nice weather info page, I think it included more then a day so it was better then waiting for the news to hear the weather person tell you something.
