SUPRISE FIND IN THRINGSTONE GARDEN

Ancient artifacts proving that neolithic man was obsessed with anal hygiene have been unearthed in the garden of a miner's cottage in the quaint village of Thringstone in North West Leicestershire.

A 'grot' of partially fossilised winnets was found only two meters away from a brace of ancient winnet combs, proving that the ancient inhabitants of this area of Leicestershire used mutual grooming as a means of ritual communication. The uniform spheroid form of the winnets has given rise to a theory that they might actually have been dried after grooming and used as a primitive form of currency, with the value of the 'coinage' depending on winnet size and richness of diet.

The findings are currently being studied by a team of emminent archaeologists from London's Natural History Museum. Any conclusive findings will be passed on to the current inhabitants of the Thringstone/Coalville area in the hope that anal hygiene in the area might once again reach the standards common over 1000 years ago.
