The county of Norfolk was celebrating today at the arrival of Ceefax, a new-fangled piece of communications technology.

Locals were glued to their television sets for hours, watching the pages of text information appear quite slowly.

Even though not many people in Norfolk can read, the Ceefax service, provided by BBC East exclusively for Norfolk, is seen as a huge step forward in bringing the county up to speed with the rest of Britain.
