Dai Digger Davies
After having dug to a depth of 10 meters last year, Scottish
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 Scots, in the weeks that followed, English
scientists dug to a depth of 20 meters, and shortly after, headlines
in the London newspapers read: 'English archaeologists have found
traces of 200 year old copper wire and have concluded that their
ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a
hundred years earlier than the Scots.'
One week later, 'The Western Mail,' a Valleys Welsh newspaper,
reported the following: 'After digging as deep as 30 meters in peat
bog near Tonypandy, Dai Digger Davies, a self taught archaeologist
and eminent worrier of sheep, reported that he found absolutely
nothing. Taffy has therefore concluded that 300 years ago Wales had
already gone wireless.'
