Occasionally you may see jumbled-up characters like this — b@$a;a&>÷@c — on your screen. This is not poor typing on our part: the most likely cause is poor reception. Your TV set may need retuning or its aerial redirecting, or your local transmitter may be operating on reduced power. ——————————————————————————————————3/10— VISIT teletext.co.uk ON THE WEB Hols help Contact us Lifestyle City
