stolen from wiki ALGOL (short for ALGOrithmic Language) is a family of imperative computer programming languages originally developed in the mid 1950s which greatly influenced many other languages and became the de facto way algorithms were described in textbooks and academic works for almost the next 30 years. It was designed to avoid some of the perceived problems with FORTRAN and eventually gave rise to many other programming languages, including BCPL, B, Pascal, Simula, C, and many others. ALGOL introduced code blocks and the begin and end pairs for delimiting them and it was also the first language implementing nested function definitions with lexical scope. Fragments of ALGOL-like syntax are sometimes still used as pseudocode (notations used to describe algorithms for human readers).

I think the basic BT internet has a download limit, go over that and the charges soon pile up Nixy. Lots of iplayer = lots of downloads

I remember punched tape output I have an AlgolW manual somewhere and made punched cards at University in 1978 - glad I didn't drop mine

Just watching Ashes to Ashes and saw an old dot matrix line printer - reminded me of the 110 baud modem I used to contact Dunton from Trafford House in Basildon back in 1979. It was so slow even I could type faster than the teletype As I recall there was a game we played at lunchtime with descriptions of rooms and giving directions - had "spelunking today" in it but I forget what it was called. It started off with you being in a room with 1 door and a table, something was on the table and there might have been a well in the room. Anyone else old enough to remember this?

White seems to be the most rare "colour" followed by red. Blade and primer are common

The Zed is very rare in France, so gets treated as an exotic there, almost rated as a supercar by the lack of them - according to my former colleague in Paris
