Proud to be a Yorkshire Person..........

A friend sent me this, and I'd thought if I share it with you it will make you smile on this Monday morning like it did me..

After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, Lancashire (UK) 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, in the weeks that followed, a Cumbrian archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, a story published in the Windermere Times : "Cumbrian 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 Lancashire ".

One week later, the Yorkshire Post reported the following: "After digging as deep as 30 feet in his backyard in Pickering , North Yorkshire , Amos Thwaite, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely sod all. Amos has therefore concluded that 150 years ago, Yorkshire had already gone wireless."

It makes you bloody proud to be from Yorkshire

Life is short, make every second count
