Cable v Wireless

[graysalchemy]

Last year, after having dug to a depth of 5 metres, Canadian archaeologists found traces of copper wire dating back 200 years.

They came to the conclusion that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 150 years ago !


Not to be outdone by their neighbours, in the weeks that followed, an American archaeologist dug to a depth of 10 metres. Shortly afterwards, a story was published in the New York Times:
"American archaeologists, finding traces of 250-year-old copper wire at a depth of 10 metres, have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network 50 years earlier than the Canadians" !


A week later, British authorities reported the following:
"After digging to a depth of 20 metres in Yorkshire, Jack Arkwright, self-taught archaeologist reported that he had found, "absolutely f+++ all" !


Jack has therefore concluded that 250 years ago, Britain had already gone wireless" :lol:

Nice one, but according to the news last night youcan no longer sell it for cash. :grin:

Not yet but in the works....going to be account only . However , this is kneejerk ******** because you are supposed to hold a waste disposal license to weigh in already . So , you use a friends name . So whats going to happen in future ? You use a friend with an accounts name . And what does this mean ? More opportunity for the the unscrupulous to profit by buying the metal for cash from the thieves and putting it through their account hidden in amongst their own .

Now , I live around a lot of gypsy and traveller families who DO have waste disposal licences and the more staid ones are getting out of metals altogether , selling up their lorries etc . From what they tell me its nothing to do with any regulations its because of the competition from nasty drug adled types . Of course there may be the less staid that I dont know who will welcome this new way to corner the market....how they will get around the taxable income paper trail remains to be seen .
