Get off my lawn

The year is 1984, the couple are exchanging messages via a public CeeFax channel..

Get off my dad's lawn ;)

Ceefax was read only.

You could phone up and get your message(s) included in local pages.

Also there were personals which involved writing your advert, and the ceefax service working as a PO box to route letters.

...if you are creepy enough.

That's not true for obvious reasons.

You uh... want to tell me why not over coffee later?

I'd love to :D

Nice screen name
