After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, German

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 Gerries, in the weeks that followed, an

American archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet and, shortly after,

a story was published in the New York Times: "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 Germans".

One week later, the Council in Teesside , reported the following:

"After digging as deep as 30 feet in Eston Hills, Jack Lucklow, a

self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely bugger all. Jack has therefore concluded that 250 years ago, Britain had

already gone wireless."

Just makes you bloody proud to be British.

The wiring the germans and americans had is probably equivalent to what a lot of the country rely on for ADSL today
