A '100-year-old angry-message in a bottle' was unexpectedly found underneath a toppled Queen Victoria statue
A '100-year-old angry-message in a bottle' was unexpectedly found underneath a toppled Queen Victoria statue. The furious message inside the bottle blasted controversial drinking laws in 1921.
However, workers were then left stunned when they pulled out the bottle from the base of the statue as they dug up the ground underneath the fallen statue. The letter inside the bottle was dated July 30, 1921, and was reportedly left as an apology for being unable to place a bottle of brandy underneath the statue.
According to Reg Helwer, the minister responsible for government services, the message reads: 'On account of the Prohibition, we are unable to adhere to the custom of depositing a bottle of brandy under the stone, for which we are extremely sorry.'
