It is intelligent to receive information in the spirit in which it was intended. The young Aberdeen loon and businessman was engaging in a bit of 'harmless banter'. Harmless , that is , unless perverted by the 'party poopers and blue meanies'. Personally I find having the English for neighbours is enriching and enlivening

Try this:

 

'After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, Irish 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 Irish, in the weeks that followed, an English

archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, a story

published in the Sassenach Morning Herald read:

 

"English 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 Irish".

 

One week later, the Banffshire Courier in Buckie, Scotland, reported

the following:

 

"After digging as deep as 30 feet in his pasture near Enzie,

Banffshire, Jock Broon, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he

found absolutely expletive removed* all.  Jock has therefore concluded that 130 years

ago, Scotland had already gone wireless."

 

Just makes you proud to be a Scot! '

Please note I didn't swap the Countries names around, so deffinately ain't a Scot lol   ;D ;D ;D
