Classic British Flight Sim

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


Makes you proud to be British.

yeah but why is there a 13 feet depth of soil difference between a British 250 year old find and an American 250 year old find...

To make sure that he had passed through the American 250 year level?

Thanks for that Keith.

It was also reported that Keith had excavated a joke that was posted here on 31st October 2013.

It's a curse - I can't remember anything useful, but when I read a joke, I immediately think "I've seen that before"

Loved that one!

Sorry, I must admit that it seemed familiar, but I should have done a search......

No worries Keith, plenty of folks got a laugh out of it.
As I said, it'd be good if I could remember something useful for a change!
