>>> PROUD TO BE BRITISH!!!!
>>> After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, Canadian 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 their neighbours, in the weeks that followed, American Archaeologists dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after,
>>> published a story in the New York Times as follows:  "American archaeologists, finding 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 Canadians".
>>> 
>>> One week later, a report surfaced in British Speleology weekly with the following declaration:
>>> 
>>> "After digging as deep as 30 feet in West Yorkshire, Jack Arkwright, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely f*** all.
>>> 
>>> Jack has therefore concluded that 250 years ago, Britain had already gone wireless."
>>> 
>>> Just bloody makes you proud to be British, doesn't it !
