Having just watched the Scotland 7's team being beaten by England, I thought I'd post this alleged newspaper report to cheer myself up.
SCOTLAND RULES, OK
After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, English scientists
found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the
conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more
than 100 years ago.
Not to be outdone by the English, in the weeks that followed, an Irish
archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, a story
published in the Belfast Telegraph read:
"Irish archaeologists, finding traces of 130-year-old copper wire,
have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech
communications network 30 years earlier than the English".
One week later, the Glasgow Herald, reported
the following:
"After digging as deep as 30 feet in his a field near Paisley, Willie Broon, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely f*** all. Willie has therefore concluded that 130 years
ago, Scotland had already gone wireless."
Just makes you proud to be Scottish!
