Hi Techies and Pete,
I haven’t heard from Dewey since the end of January, so your message gave me a nudge to contact him. I will be sure to let you all know when I hear anything.
I cannot help but share his last message to me, which I hope you will enjoy:
"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, Charlie Hardcastle, a self-taught local amateur archaeologist, reported that he had found absolutely bugger-all worth of copper wire. Charlie has therefore concluded that 250 years ago, Britain had already gone wireless."
Just makes me proud to be British!
