Message:: [QUOTE="daveydempsey, post: 4722023, member: 22"]Last year, after having dug to a depth of 5 metres, Canadian archaeologists found traces of copper wire dating back 200 years. They 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, an American archaeologist dug to a depth of 10 metres. Shortly afterwards, a story was published in the New York Times:"American archaeologists, finding traces of 250-year-old copper wire at a depth of 10 metres, have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network 50 years earlier than the Canadians" ! A week later, British authorities reported the following:"After digging to a depth of 20 metres in  Yorkshire, Jack Arkwright,  self-taught archaeologist reported that he had found, "absolutely bugger all" !Jack has therefore concluded that 250 years ago, Britain had already gone wireless" !
