@TheBryster - did we Brits "invent" the Agricultural Revolution, or did we just take advantage of stuff known from elsewher? I don't know.

UK = Penicillin (although it was originally dicovered in France, and Alexander Fleming re-discovered the idea later IIRC).
UK = Television (John Logie Baird, or John Yogi Bear - not Blair - as I like to thinnk of him)
UK = Radar (2nd World War)
UK = Dictionary (I think, not sure.. Samuel Johnson)

Cheers,
Diolma

Who is not going to mention Transistors, Telephones, Space-flight, ***burgers, Production-lines... all invented in "Another Place". But will mention "Tanks" cos I think we invented them (WWI), but not 100% sure..
