COPPER WIRE

After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, French scientists found

traces of copper wire dating back 200 years and came to the conclusion

that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 150 years

ago.

Not to be outdone by the French: in the weeks that followed, American

archaeologists dug to a depth of 20 feet before finding traces of copper

wire. Shortly afterwards, they published an article in the New York Times

saying : "American archaeologists, having found traces of 250-year-old

copper wire, have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced

high-tech communications network 50 years earlier than the French."

A few weeks later, 'The British Archaeological Society of Northern England'

reported the following: "After digging down to a depth of 33 feet in the

Skipton area of North Yorkshire in 2011, Charlie Hardcastle, a self-taught

amateur archaeologist, reported that he had found absolutely f*ck all. Charlie

has therefore concluded that 250 years ago, Britain had already gone wireless."

Just makes you bloody proud to be British, don't it?
