England.
A new Roman road has been discovered in northwest England and is the first such road to be found in 150 years.
Archaeologists always knew there was a road linking Ribchester and Lancaster but for all this time they have been looking in the wrong place. The reason being that Roman roads generally took the shortest route possible from place to place i.e. a straight line. It seems in this case, however, our invading enemies appeared to adopt what would become the classically British method of making roads with bends and turns at just about every place imaginable!
Oddly the idea of straight roads, which is the most logical and time saving method, was completely ignored by later Britons. Although I guess making bendy roads instead of straight ones is bound to happen when you live in a land full of magic mushrooms!
