Fancy seeing what was in the top 10 charts from #OnThisDate 35 years ago back in 1991 via the land of Ceefax which saw the Clash at number 1 with Should I Stay or Should I Go? and Hale & Pace at number 2 with The Stonk.

Top 11 no less as seen on Ceefax 30 years ago today.

Top 11 no less as seen on Ceefax 30 years ago today.

Fancy seeing what was in the top 11 pop charts as seen on Ceefax 30 years ago #OnThisDay back in 1996.

Take That was number 1 with How Deep Is Your Love which saw Oasis Don't Look Back In Anger about the chart position at 2.

🟩 TELETEXT | On This Day 1990 | ORACLE asks for the public's help to save its ITV and C4 service from closure. Commercial teletext wasn't catered for in the new Broadcasting Bill.

Some disparaging remarks about Ceefax!
