That is pretty. Can you link? Took me a moment to realise it wasnth July 20th yet. Can't imagine the weather was like that 9 years ago!


You need some U.K.-specific knowledge, which is that CEEFAX went off air in 2012. If you see a screenshot of genuine CEEFAX (not one of the several modern things that pretend to be teletext) it will be from before 2012, possibly from long before as it was a service embedded in analogue PAL broadcasts that was capturable as page text (with all of the control characters) by BBC Micro users (who had bought the Acorn "Teletext Adapter") as long ago as the early 1980s.


Bummer, thanks for the reply!


July 20, 2016 was a Wednesday and the screencap shows Friday. First 20 July Friday before 2016 is Friday 20 July 2012.

No idea how to pull historical UK weather data to see if it matches :)
