Thomas Crapper was destined with a name like that

Basically everything that allows this to exist. Phone, TV, motion pictures, computer, world wide Web.

The British are great at inventing stuff, but not so great at the commercial exploitation. I'm surprised they didn't mention the World Wide Web, invented by Tim (now Sir Tim) Berners-Lee while he was working at CERN.

Airplane.. Sir George Cayley, 6th Baronet was an English engineer, inventor, and aviator. He is one of the most important people in the history of aeronautics. Many consider him to be the first true scientific aerial investigator and the first person to understand the underlying principles and forces of flight. Not the Wright brothers. Wright brothers first powered flight.

Sadly, the original portable digital audio concept was so far ahead of being a practical engineering proposition that the patent was bound to expire first. The concept existed, but the technology was far from ready. It was the same situation for Steve Sasson's digital camera project of 1975, which was a long way ahead of being a practical consumer product.

Hi sir, I urge to try Fry's Chocolate Cream. It is still made, and delectable.

Because the UK invented the postage stamp it didn’t feel the need to put our countries name on the stamp. It shows the Queen’s head with the value or if it’s 1st or 2nd class. Commemorative stamps are issued for special events or celebrations. These days stamps are self-adhesive. The old lick & stick stamps were a menace. In machines dampness would cause stamps to stick together and block machines. This also solved the perceived problem that the glue/adhesive now used was definitely vegan.

Number 3 on this list is quite interesting for me because I already knew that Dr Patrick Steptoe and Dr Robert G Edwards developed I.V.F. at Oldham General Hospital ( now known as Royal Oldham Hospital ) here in the U.K. simply because I used to live in Royton in the early 1970's - Royton's right next to Oldham on the map and it was our local hospital. The main thing about it is that at that time I was living with one of my elder sisters and Dr Steptoe performed a total hysterectomy on her after she'd given birth to her fourth baby. He told her that because each baby that she'd given birth to had been getting progressively larger ( her fourth baby was 11 lbs 12 oz ) that she could be endangering her life if she became pregnant again because she could expect that her fifth baby or any subsequent ones could be even larger and it could put her at risk of contracting diabetes. According to her he was a thoroughly nice bloke and a great doctor. My sister was dead chuffed about this and has always been carrying this as her personal badge of honour despite him performing the complete opposite on her of what he is more renowned for, i.e. his co-creation of I.V.F. treatments along with Dr Edwards.

Discoveries and inventions really took off in the 1850, due to industrial revolution and sciences being applied here into things. The US was still a nation that was in comparison behind the curve.

I wonder if the tizzard mission to the US helped. We handed over numerous scientific and industrial secrets to keep them out of German hands. One of them was the Cavity Magnatron, which most people have never heard of. It allowed the development of smaller more advanced radar sets, radar equipped in aircraft and ships.

Something of an over-simplification there. "Sciences being applied here into things" is the least scientifical phrase wot I not ain't never eared before. Innit

Fun fact also, Dr Patrick Steptoe delivered my mum in 1954 at the Royal Oldham Hospital near where I still live too this day (that's the same hospital where the first IVF baby was born) it's also funny that the town and in particular the village nearby (Royton) were the first industrialised towns in the world, with the first powered mill coming into existence on Thorpe estate in Royton in the 1700's, way before the rest of the country and the world experienced the industrial revolution, there is also remains and evidence of extremely ancient civilisations in the town, predating any roman era buildings, settlements etc. you should look into this town (Royton, Lancashire) I'm sure you'd enjoy the sheer vast plethora of history and world importance it has to offer) and maybe a little bias from me since it's my hometown :p

Lift up the plastic thing with air which regulates how much water should be in the tank, no? There must be so many things going wrong to point id say someone intended to make sure it overflows as normally that doesnt happen

The first ever jet engiene prototype was actualy created by Henri Coanda , a romanian.

Most people believe that the original inventor of the jet engine is Hans von Ohain, a German aerospace engineer who "perfected" the jet engine by creating the German ME-262 fighter plane during World War II. However, this was not the first jet aircraft per se, it was the first jet fighter capable of sustaining speeds of up to 1300 km/h. In fact the first jet engine was invented by the Romanian Henri Coandă. Coandă had the idea of the jet engine in 1908 and built the first prototype in 1909. However, at that time the concept of the airplane was still in its infancy because even airplanes propellers had not yet evolved to their full potential. Hans von Ohain perfected the jet engine, but that does not mean he created it. The Coanda-1910 flew even if not to its best capabilities due to the technological limitations of the time. The ME-262, which is supposed to be the first jet/fighter, was built in 1944, 34 years after Henri Coandă's first jet, which gave Ohain plenty of time to to improve it.
