Funny how the UK people here think they are so high and mighty.
Coming from someone who repeatedly bangs on about how dumb and stupid other PF members are that's a bit of a joke.
Brits have done nothing of note, create anything of note, invent anything of note, or done anything earth shatteringly beneficial to mankind in at least the last fifty if not one hundred years.
Let me see.......oh yes, those little unimportant things like:
Radar, jet engine patent, carbon fibre, IVF, DNA profiling, hovercraft, commercial jet airliner, Colossus computer, first accurate atomic clock, animal cloning, the World Wide Web.
Given that Britain also includes Scotland and Wales, then we can also include the discovery of penicillin and television.
