I was going to say Tomato Ketchup but it would appear it is American, boo!

So I'm going to go for Heinz Tomato Ketchup as it is superior to all other ketchups in this world.

You're thinking

of the World Wide Web. Created by Tim Berners Lee (British).

But let us not forget the difference engine - the world's first programable computer (if it had actually been built).


YEAH OK WHATEVER DUDE

OK? WORLD WIDE WEB.


The hovercraft.

End of discussion.

originates from Asia

BUT...Heinz Tommy K is quintessentially British.

I fucking hate my toaster!!!

You do it at 4, it's barely even browned.

You do it at 5, it's charred like a biaaatch.

Clearly, toasters have no sense of compromise


i don't think mine was well done enough in that photo

also bits of plastic melted onto the bread. that's argos quality for you.


True, I have to admit

Although I do feel deep, seething anger for my bitch of a toaster, it's clearly no match for yours.

It's a conspiracy, I tells ya! The toasters are well and truyl taking over.


You're just sour(dough)

because you lost.


Let's have a naan dance!!!

Invention?

Viagra and toilet paper. Both invented by the British.

Also, the world wide web was invented by Tim Berners-Lee so it counts.

But the best bit of engineering would be Stevenson's locomotive.
