After many a long year, I tried once again to look up my share prices via BBC 2 p.220 Shares Pages. Wouldn't play ball! Though the market indices were showing. I used to have a PC Teletext card with software to download the pages.

Ceefax ended in 2012. I expect a lot of those share prices were higher back then!
