[QUOTE="andyscouse, post: 1020127, member: 27100"]I don't think that's true at all! Certainly not now, with "reality" (sic) shows the norm on US TV. Sure, the US made good stuff a while back. However, you really can't beat good old Brit comedies, such as Monty Python, Fawlty Towers, the Blackadder series, at al. Unfortunately, the UK follows the US 'lead', and produces its own junky shows in the mould of the US junky shows. Just because a stash of US coins were found in the UK (remember - we're your best ally) doesn't mean that xenophobic and jingoistic statements are warranted. My guess is that they'll be sold [to a museum or similar] or returned to the finders, and if the former, they'd get a good-sized %age of the proceeds. Wish I could find that kind of treasure! Personally, I think the treasure trove rules are a bit silly in these cases. Rule Britannia!![/QUOTE]
