We've been getting a lot of comments regarding the "British inventing the internet". Tim Berners-Lee created the World Wide Web. Americans created the internet. They are two separate things. The world wide web uses the internet to work. www.webopedia.com/DidYouKnow/Internet/Web_vs_Internet.asp
Yea the US created the internet, millions of interlinked computer networks used to transmit data. It encompasses information sent via email, chat tools, apps and a range of other online services in addition to websites. The World wide web is basically the pages , hyperlinks data and documents that hold it all together, so basically the internet as we know it would be useless and consist of emails an basic texts if it weren't for the Brits, you are welcome.
I know man. We invented racist names for every one! In fact the only people to create racist names for us were our own colonists the Australians. Pommes limeys lol
True! Everyone in schools these days are tryna act hard and when proven wrong then fucking say no u, I'm so fucking offended when they say that. I'm scared of em lmfao watch out crazy kids about.
Yes lol, If as many people played basketball than football the USA might have some competition. To be fair though, I think they would still do well. The US likes to inject huge amounts of money into sports schemes and scholarships.
Hani nope they are just stabbing areas. How's the high knife related crimes? How's the home invasions? How does it feel to know that your pretty much fucked when it comes to a lunatic with a weapon because your tyrant outdated kings and queens won't let you have the right to bare arms?
Lily. Practically all the world sports originated in Britain or were first formalised in Britain.Soccer (as it was originally called), rugby, cricket, tennis and golf are just the most famous.Britain was the first modern democracy, had the first modern political system, began the mechanisation of agriculture, had the first scientific animal breeding system, introduced the first museums dedicated to understanding, the first modern zoos studying animal behaviour, introduced many modern sciences including geology, and palaeontology, mapped the world, introduced time zones - so that now the Prime Meridian runs through East London, invented the first telegraph system.Britain brought about the industrial revolution - inventing (manu)facturies, railways and modern shipbuilding. England abolished slavery in 1772 - the first to do so - which probably added to the determination of the American colonies to separate. Carried out the greatest act of genuine altruism in the history of the word - the fight against the slave trade. And civilised half the world. Preventing the murder of children who were deemed unclean and stopping widow burning - to mention a tiny fraction of the achievements of the most remarkable people who have ever lived. But now doomed to extinction, betrayed by their own sense of duty to the world. .
+Carolyn Piera how many of those were actually ethnically English or should I say Scottish Welsh or Northern Irish, actually Northern Irish isn't British !! it's the part of the UK, so technically Northern Ireland was not represented in the Olympics because it was Team GB not Team UK anyways I'm digressing. oh, yeah ,how many were actually natives ?.....Rule Britannia. most of them Nigerian French Belgium Zimbabwe Somalian Irish actually quite a few Irish ...ethnically Irish I mean, the United States is a country of immigrants at least the Chinese are Chinese.
another plug fact, you think stepping on a (series of plastic moulded bricks made in Norway, which have the ability to connect) Lego is painful step on a UK plug Made a correction. Because some minor language issue with my grammar. Can be seen in brackets, I hope @D town is happy now. "@UCkgVTZ-iY4KY92AJIUWUINg it's Lego not a lego. Did you not read the other comments" - D Town
Chocolate?? Cadburys, Fry's and Terrys are now owned by Mondelez Int (Kraft Foods) and have changed most of the recipes for inferior chocolate. Most products are now made in Poland. Mars are also USA owned and only makes a few things over here. Nestle are Anglo-Swiss but cannot or will not confirm which products are made in UK if any. So other than Thorntons and a few small manufacturers, there's really no such thing anymore as British chocolate. Sad but true :(
Chris Gordon It's nominally 230, the same as Europe, it was harmonised a few years ago. But actually, nothing changed as a tolerance either way was permitted, so the UK supply is still around 240 volts and much of Europe around 220.
Double Deckers (the chocolate bar) and pickled onion Monster Munch. We should get the Royal Air Force to air drop these to the yanks, call it overseas aid.
The major flaw in every country that uses democracy is the peoples (Americans English and so on) don't realise that there governments are there to represent us. Not to start wars not to rape plunder and kill innocent people not to bomb children
@@yuehagime8302 my encyclopedia states basketball was invented in 1891 by Dr. Naismith and volleyball was invented 1895 by W Mogan.....both in the U.S.
And also the UK plays in most of the games divided.. Imagine if their football team had the likes of Gareth bale, Ryan giggs, George Best and many others.. Is there any other country that has competitiveness in multiple sports like UK?? Football, cricket, golf, rugby, hockey,boxing etc .. the british talent is not only divided due to engagement in different sports but also due to divided play of four talented countries.... for evidence.Great Britan with a population of just 65 million always ranks higher in the olympic table against the likes of US with over 300 million and china over 1 billion ... see that's the evidence of real british talent...
No, we get eight Bank Holidays: New Year's Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday (some get Easter Tuesday as well but it's optional, not mandatory), May Day (first Monday in May) Spring Bank Holiday (last Monday in May), August Bank Holiday (last Monday in August), Christmas Day and the last one of the year - Boxing Day.
No.... American "football" is a girl's game, with all that body armour. Here our guys play rugby with at best a cup for the privates, all the rest is there to get busted, kicked, kneed, battered and busted some more. That's a real man's game. Your guys wouldn't last till half time playing in these conditions, they'd be away crying to their nice trainers because the nasty Brits got a bit physical.
@Dave B - then there's orREGGano, rather than oreGAHno - but I can deal with that, it's just a question of which syllable is accentuated. But I can't deal with nuCULar, rather than nuclear. And aLOOMinum, rather than aluMINium.
No. They didn't. The internet and the World Wide Web are two separate things. "The World Wide Web (WWW) is an information space where documents and other web resources are identified by URLs, interlinked by hypertext links, and can be accessed via the Internet. The World Wide Web was invented by English scientist Tim Berners-Lee in 1989. The Internet is the global system of interconnected computer networks that use the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to link devices worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of private, public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global scope, linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless, and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries an extensive range of information resources and services, such as the inter-linked hypertext documents and applications of the World Wide Web (WWW), electronic mail, telephony, and peer-to-peer networks for file sharing. The origins of the Internet date back to research commissioned by the United States federal government in the 1960s to build robust, fault-tolerant communication via computer networks." So basically, you access the World Wide Web via the Internet. ~Mike
Yes, that's alright, we ruled half the world, including America, essentially creating the United states. Blowing you out of the water, does that put you to shame?
I never said anyone created America. I simply stated that the British colonized 13 states on the east coast of North America, which, once gained independence became the United States of America. These states never would have needed to gain independence if the British Empire had never colonized them in the first place and it's unlikely the 13 states would have united. Secondly, no one fled, it's called the British Empire for a reason. We conquered and ruled. And i completely agree with the two words "religious" and "bullshit" going next to one another, they're quite the complementary couple. Next, you seriously believe the United Kingdom is run by Muslims? Wow you're ignorant! Let me educate you. According the latest (2011) census, 87% of the population in Great Britain is white, as opposed to 13% of the population of Great Britain being other ethnic minorities. Regarding religion, only a small 4.4% of the population is Muslim, whereas, a majority being Christian at 59.5%, of which 93% are white. You, like many others are being fooled by the media and are oblivious to reality. Now, yes, that is the 2011 census and when the new 2021 census is released i guarantee you those percentages will vary, including the Muslim population living in the UK. However, i can also assure you that Muslims will still be the small minority that they are today. And, if a president that follows Islam is ever put in to power, that doesn't mean Muslims run our country just as much as any Christian. Religion is a belief system, a belief in god or a supernatural being, or fiction as i like to call it. Much like your belief of religion running a country. Lastly, you are delusional if you think Arabic will become Britain's official language. Wadaeaan lak jaddana, wakunt kays sadhij min alqarf. I trust you know what that means, and for the majority that don't speak Arabic, google translate is very helpful.
Yes i did notice that. So you don't give a "rat ass" about history but you do about climate? Just goes to show how uneducated and simple minded you are. AND WOW, what a hypocrite you are. You falsely accuse me of stereotyping you, when you call me "little girl" and "princess"? Some nerve, but don't worry, i'm not going to judge you for not knowing the meaning behind big words like stereotype.
British invented sports like Football, Cricket, Rugby and Tennis. These sports are played globally while we aim to compete against other countries whereas USA invented sports like basketball, American football and baseball which are sports that most countries have no interests in which is why its main audience are just Americans. That's why America comes first in all of its sports where as the sports created by the British have more competition across the world.
+OGslimJesus'sBigBrother Posted up on Frank block Many Americans and Canadians play it but have you ever heard of a Basketball world cup. There's a world cup for Football, Cricket and rugby where numerous countries around the world compete in these sports including tennis tournaments such as Wimbledon which hosts tennis players from across the world. More people equals more competition.
Britain invented most of the popular sports of the world like, football, rugby, cricket, tennis etc and we are crap at every one of them. 😄 By the way it's "FOOTBALL" not "soccer. Because it's played by kicking the ball with the foot. In American "football" the ball is hardly ever kicked by a players foot. They bring on a special guy to kick the ball. So how can it be football?😳
+OGslimJesus'sBigBrother Posted up on Frank block You should check the viewing figures for sports like football for example the promise league and compare it to sports which are mainly viewed by Americans and Canadians
+OGslimJesus'sBigBrother Posted up on Frank block The French began playing a sport which required using the palm of your hands whereas the rules of the game and the way its played was created by an Englishman. Take away the rules and the racket which is used to hit the ball its no longer tennis mate.
Elina Brice, "XD A symbol with X being the eyes and D being the mouth, to make a seeming of the person having squinched eyes and a mouth wide open laughing. This is usually used to replace rofl, as the X for eyes indicates that they are laughing so hard they may have fallen off their chair. Usually used in mmorpgs and chat lines." Oh, so that's what "XD" means. That's stupid. Much as I hate LOL, that is definitely not a good replacement.It's--did I mention this--stupid.
@@mikebritcom3171 Don't ever call FOOTBALL a third world sport, it's the sport of the world. The USA, well with the 2nd amendment, you guys are in the third world.
Shadow Wolf78 , it’s like this in Canada as well. Basically just a marketing tactic to make it seem like prices are lower. Both North American countries should implement a law that says you must include it. I know MEX is in there too, I’m just unsure about their taxation procedures. 😉
Gun laws in the UK are better as well. In the USA the NRA's solution to lowering school shootings is by giving teachers guns cos that'll really lower gun crimes especially school shootings.
Doesn't matter which side of the road someone drives on, depends on the country... If anything us Brits drive on the wrong side.... Considering that the majority of nations drive on the other side :3
Of course it matters and the reason why is that it dates back to knights on horse back. They hold the hoses reigns in the weakest left hand and hold the sword or lance in the strongest right hand facing his opponent and vice-versa. It also applies using swords or daggers in foot combat. The English and a few other countries correctly and historically drive on the correct side of the road and the rest of the world drive on the wrong side. Even the Romans drove carts on the left too. Fact!
USA doesn't always win at basketball. Lithuania,Argentina....just 2 of many countries that HAVE beaten the USA over the years. Trust Americans to go balls out for minority sports. True England have only won the World Cup once but it's once more than the USA :) They call their baseball final the World Series despite only them and a few in Canada taking part. The NFL winners up until a few years ago were called the world champions....minority sports they thrive in....NFL is like gay rugby anyway. All that pointless padding....
Now now! I agree mostly. But the World Series is not some ego thing. The first sponsor of the tournament was a newspaper/mag called "The World" - so they called it "The World" Series. (almost like Coca-cola Cup) But yes - the NFL winners calling themselves "World Champions"? So Leicester City should call themselves "World Champions" of real football? I agree - utter bullshit.
+TheKodiakbare If there was a British team over the years we would've had Gareth bale. George best.. Ryan giggs. dalglish etc. would've had a way better team and would've succeeded a lot. sadly we didn't have that. we had two of the best midfielders of all time Gerrard& Lampard and our mangers never made use of them. poor management.
I remember having to work in Canada for a few years on behalf of the UK Government. I remember my shock at the HUGE gaps in the public toilet doors! Why would you do that? In the UK all the door have locks on them that tell you if they’re occupied or not. You just need to use your eyes. Peering through a gap at someone relieving themselves is perverted.
I will give that to you and agree that the 'Internet' was invented in the USA long ago. But, today, when people say 'I'm on the internet', they are actually using the 'World Wide Web', which isn't technically 'The Internet'. I would say that both 'World Wide Web - www' and the 'Internet' are seen as one in the same.
"wasn't it the World Wide Web (www) invented by a Brit..." Better still - an Englishman: Tim Berners-Lee ! But if you look at the WHOLE Computer/PC/Internet/WWW 'package' over time, you could reasonably describe it as yet another piece of ANGLO-AMERICAN inventive genius........................(IMHO)
1) Cheese rolling is at Cooper’s Hill, Gloucester (my home town), not Wick. (2) The British rock at just inventing sports: football, rugby, golf, cricket, tennis, badminton, squash... (3) Inventing things generally: the computer (Babbage), the tank (WW1), the Industrial Revolution. (4) Discovering stuff: natural selection, the laws of motion, vaccination. (5) Writing stuff: Shakespeare, Milton, Brontes, Austen, Dickens, Tolkien, CS Lewis, J K Rowling. (6) Philosophy: Locke, Mill, Hobbes.
@@gravydavy4188s = their were various bat and ball games that were played both in the Colonies and in Britain in the 18th century with varying rules. Rounders, Cricket , and early versions of baseball derived from them - but baseball did not directly evolve from rounders - even though there are similarities to the present games. Their is a printed reference to "Basteball" in the the 1750's.-
Not to quibble but wasn't tennis invented by the French?. There is new research that cricket was imported from Flanders. You can always fall back on football even though its played better in other places.
Yeah but, Rounders girls game in the UK. Give a baseball player a cricket bat and have fast ball bowler chuck a hard red ball doing 140 km at him !!, see if you can hit that buddy
+Adam Wooldridge I doubt there's much 240v still about. It was standardised at 220v by the EU. All new electrical goods were required to work at up to 240v at the same time for safe compatibility between countries. Hence appliances stating 240v still. 110v is less hazardous, why 110v transformers are used in the construction industry, but needs thicker wire for the same power.
We did spend a while occupying India during the Empire. Till a massive combination of revolution, peaceful protest, and a national crisis of conscience dismantled the Empire. Which makes it both the largest Empire, and the only Empire never to collapse under its own weight. They got cricket from us (And, are fantastic at it!) Why not the complaining as well?
Growing up, America was portrayed as the place to be, but with every fact I learn about the place, the less I'd wanna go there, honestly that country is terrifying.
34...UK doesn’t have the arrogance , delusions of grandeur and audacity of claiming to be the greatest country ever. But the yanks on the other hand, kept on reminding everybody that they are!...everybody would just laugh!
Lelov do you know what rhymes with Brit? ... shit!! Brit, shit! Keep patting yourself on the back whilst you continue getting the shit stomped out of you by everything you’ve ever known!
Jay You? Nonono, you just claimed your independence, it was the French Empire that ensured your win, without them your people would have failed. Wait sorry, your people, most of them were actually British so technically not yours
LOGAN LATHAM you know that without the help and aid your allies you yanks would’ve been long gone buddy! You been having Cold War with Russia for so long now, last election they meddled with your election and other affairs...still you did nothing! If they were a lesser country you would’ve invaded them already.... but sadly the rest of the world knows that the USA is only a capable of bullying the incapable ones! Without your allies, Russia and China would just kick your yankie fucking ass!
The cold war ended more than two decades ago, we are also in multiple non aggression agreements with china and Russia, ones that you as well are in. Russia and China wouldn't want to wage war with us anyways since it would end very badly on both sides. Multiple other countries would get involved and it would start a world war. The US, Russia, and China have enough common sense to not mess with each other. We aren't the ones that loose almost every colony we create, including a colony of poor farmers with un-advanced guns."If they were a lesser country you would’ve invaded them already", You guys are the ones that have invaded over 170 countries at some point in history.
Jesse Ward yes we colonised them CENTURIES ago.That’s how it was before.That’s how the game was played centuries ago! Time has passed and with modern changes happening, independence was inevitable! We’re the first one to scrap slavery, and we became the first industrialised country. You mentioned that Russia and China wouldn’t initiate war against the US that they have common sense. It’s the other way around, the US wouldn’t initiate war against Russia and China because 1) USA is damn broke to its knees 2) USA just handpick lesser countries. And yes other countries would be involved because the USA can’t fight a war on its own, it need allies and aids. Mano y Mano, against the other powerhouse countries it has nothing but fucking excuses! Has the USA fought a war on its own? Hell no! If it’s Russia , China or North Korea... excuses fucking excuses. If it’s a lesser country...fuck common sense, fuck morality, fuck justice and honour... the yanks would step in!
That is the old British format. The Dule if Wellington dated his letters that way. It hung on in the US, as they were not paying attention to changes in London. Same reason they have the old pint, not the new Imperial pint.
+Ben Mccarthy well over here in Europe football is more popular than most sports (don't know about all of Europe I live in Iceland) but football is extremely popular and it is ALOT more popular then American football
The US Department of Defense awarded contracts as early as the 1960s for packet network systems, including the development of the ARPANET (which would become the first network to use the Internet Protocol). The first message was sent over the ARPANET from computer science Professor Leonard Kleinrock's laboratory at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to the second network node at Stanford Research Institute (SRI).
Well technically you are correct, however if we're talking about modern computers, (the ones you think of when you think "computers") and the actual internet we know of today, that'd be the US. Modern computers needed one thing that allowed them to move out of the giant rooms they were in and into the home: the microchip, those were invented in the US. Along with the APRANET, which was the actual forbearer of what we now know of as the Internet. I'm not saying the US was the first to think of computers or the Internet or automobiles, etc… we just made them practical and mass producible so as to bring down the prices so virtually everyone could enjoy it.
Tommy Taylor I think it's sad that Alan Turing and his group are not widely recognized for having invented the computer, due to it being a state secret for decades.
Axis_Hawk Just like a Scot would call themselves a Scot, and would call an Englishman and Englishman. There's no difference. Of course you'd call them British, because they are until its decided otherwise - there's nothing offensive in it.
Britain: so, you've flew the coop and have made it on your own. America: Yeah, I'm bigger than you now dad. Britain: _shows this video_ America: I'm sorry please don't lock me in the basement again
moxey 25 That would be the "www" for a web address. There are other protocols to get on the internet. The actual internet with hardware, computers, phone/cable lines, switches, etc......was invented in the U.S.A starting in the late 1960s by the U.S. military.
Αρίστος Δράμαλης Who's the 'ape'??? Any reason you have to be so angry and offensive??? You've attacked "moxey25" in a very aggressive manner, and for no good reason. Whether's he's correct or you're correct is irrelevant. Try showing a bit dignity. If you want to disagree with someone, rather than launch into an aggressive tirade try showing a bit decorum and self-respect!
Wrong the tank was invented by an Australian engineer who petitioned it to the British government. Because British Empire. Germany STOLE the tank and reversed engineered it. And then made better ones.
Except when you're in college - because then it's Asian dads. You're allergic to bees? That's my boy. They call us A-sian, not B-sian. B stands for 'below average'
Being a British born, living in Hong Kong. British people are miles better at complaining. To be honest here people will just follow the rules no matter how stupid they are. Some elderly women complain a lot at restaurants say, but only complain to each other and the staff, the second the boss walks in the room they'll say it's lovely. British people will only complain to the boss. This is just my experience.
+Jaw Ji Haha that sounds right. We think speaking to a boss or manager will get to the bottom of a problem more efficiently by assuming they're more qualified. That's why I can tell you some call centres have employees pose as managers even though they are qualified the same as a regular employees. It magically calms angry customers down that are transfered to a 'manager'. Hilarious when you think about it. 😅
This is where the English and Irish are so alike! Irish people will crib like mad in the pub, etc,but when it comes to making official complaints, forget it! There is a reason though; if you try to make an official complaint in Ireland you will get absolutely feckin 'NOWHERE!!! Brits and Irish WILL protest when things are really out of order though, as with the Poll Tax and Water Charges, and engage in civil disobedience! TBH ,I'm glad we don't yet have a litigation culture like America in our two nations!
Let's stop insulting eachother and just be friends, :) , both the United States and the United Kingdom are great places to live, we should not judge eachother by steryotypes :)
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx5 na sorry m8 but ur wrong pants was a puritan term we should have terminated them sooner yes it was in England (also stop saying Britain very broad term) but it was the Americans before they got there so bye go eat a frankfurter (hot dog if u are too dumb to know they are german)

I am a Brit, I love the USA, I have quite a few American friends (But not as many as I have British and Irish (or Germans or Dutch come to that) but I digress) and found this amusing (not accurate but amusing) I can't understand why there are so many negative comments. Come in guys SMILE FFS.
Screw You but the guy was British, a famous brit invented the computer and her son the Internet. Get to know the history dude, behind every American is a secret brit.
You missed out THE most important one: TIPPING! In the US it's almost DNA-ingrained, and waiters and waitresses (NOT the daft 'politically-correct' "servers") are quick to chastise low or withheld tips. In the UK, good service = appropriate tip; bad service = low or no tip (and the waiter/waitress will not complain and come running after the diner to challenge them).
No tipping the UK whatsoever? You must be joking lol. Obviously I'm not going to tip like Americans do, but if a meal comes to like £47.84, I'd just put a £50 and then they can keep the change. Most people I know do that
+ Daniele Iannarelli In the US tips are considered part of the wage - so servers get paid less, meaning customers are guilted into paying the tips. In the UK the servers are paid a decent minimum wage and the tips are extras.
You can tell I'm a massive Whovian as I spent the entire time admiring your t-shirt and recognising all the sonics that kept changing! 10 (25-15 +the glasses in 15), 11 (14-6 9- with closed prongs), 12 (5-1his later one as he used 11s for a while) Thought I saw Wars the first time but must have been imagining things!
Aussies are all English convicts. The Scots that got kicked out when searching round the world found some islands that were mountainous and rained all the time and they said "perfect, just like home!" and that became new Zealand.
Dan Gallier In my experience, the British REFUSE to complain the way Americans do, i.e. when it might actually do some good. In a store or restaurant, when receiving bad service or the wrong order, etc., British people just accept it at the time, and then complain about later to anyone who'll listen. They even get embarrassed when an American dinner companion tries to make it right. They just want to avoid any fuss. It's very strange and frustrating to Americans who are used to expecting to actually get what we pay for, even if that means opening your mouth in public.
lmao in USA they even put a load of ads on during the olympic ceremony brah... and in the middle of main sporting events. You know how you may watch football and get ads at the start, half time and end? Well in America when I was on holiday I was watching a channel that had ads every god damn 15 minutes
Dian I agree that it was a collaborative effort and America played a rather important roll. Still saying "America invented the internet" is incorrect. It can't be "correct and not correct" at the same time. It's better to say America made a big contribution to the invention of the internet, or something along those lines.
Initial concepts of packet networking originated in several computer science laboratories in the United States, United Kingdom, and France. When America developed TCP/IP they based their protocol in work that the French did before if I remember correctly. From that point internet has evolved a lot and many countries have done contributions (I'm talking about technology not content in the web). If we had to quantify how much America has contributed to the internet I would say that is around 35% and is the major contributor. But when someone say America invented the internet that's a lie.
Dian Yes I know you get it, but I don't know why it bothers me so much when someone receive credit they don't deserve like Graham Bell inventing the telephone, Thomas Edison the light bulb and America the internet among others.
In regards to the British understating things. Look up what happened to the Northumberland Rifles, whilst trying to hold a hill against North Korean and Chinese troops. When asked how things were? The General replied that things were a bit "Sticky". Which the American took as meaning things were a bit rough but we'll be ok. What the British meant by a bit sticky, was that they were facing overwhelming numbers of enemy, running out of ammunition. And about to be overrun any minute, so please send help. Lol. Love being British. 👍👍
MACONE Scotland Yep that's the one. Smoking weed and recalling historical facts don't really go hand in hand? Talking shit and eating too many munchies, yes. Being able to correctly recall historical facts, no. Lol. Thanks for the heads up mate. 👍
Understatement is an art form that is to be adored and admired! To say things are in a bit of a pickle often means that we're under, a serious fraud investigation, likely to be shut down by the government and the pension pot has no money it; we'll carry on.
The process of transferring packets of information between two remote systems? It was a government funded project that was later adopted for civilian use. So yes, "America "invented" internet."
The weather being the #1 thing us Brits complain about On a hot sunny day: it’s too hot. Why can’t it rain? On a day that’s not a hot sunny day: it’s too cold. Why do we never see the sun? It’s always raining
I did look it up. The Internet was invented by the US military in the 1960s. (Although the bit of the Internet that most people interact with directly - the World Wide Web - was invented by a Brit working at CERN in the 1980s).
Actually both an american (Paul Baran) and brit (Donald Davies) independently came up with the concept (Donald Davies - welsh, and Paul Baran - American) of Packet-Switching with which led to ARPANET. You'll find the The U.S. National Inventors Hall of Fame naming both. Davies used the term packets, Baran named them message blocks.
I'm English and I found that funny, the bit about the British inventing sports and not winning at any is almost true, we win at darts lol lol, great video thanks for uploading.
Oh, by the way, we call soccer 'football'. It has been called that since about the twelfth century. 'Soccer' was only used in the nineteenth century. There is no evidence that it comes from the word 'association', early uses suggest it was used as an insult by people who played rugby football. 'They just 'sock' the ball anywhere with their feet. (See the BBC programme 'Balderdash and Piffle' for evidence of this.)
andy walks any game where people compete against each other can be considered an sport, now look at that girls game the brits invented many moons ago it was called rounders but now called baseball in the USA That's called sport lol lol only a joke don't take it to heart please.
We've been getting a lot of comments regarding the "British inventing the internet". Tim Berners-Lee created the World Wide Web. Americans created the internet. They are two separate things. The world wide web uses the internet to work. www.webopedia.com/DidYouKnow/Internet/Web_vs_Internet.asp

The World wide web is basically the pages , hyperlinks data and documents that hold it all together, so basically the internet as we know it would be useless and consist of emails an basic texts if it weren't for the Brits, you are welcome.
Yo I'm English and I love both UK obviously and USA I mean we're basically BFF'S
They're just assuming it they don't actually know.
Well Australia invented WiFi. Just thought I’d point that out
list25 wrong. We invented it along side America in ww2 for communication purposes.
Being British the one thing we are great at is taking the piss out of someone, even if its our own friend. Nobody is safe.
I know man. We invented racist names for every one! In fact the only people to create racist names for us were our own colonists the Australians. Pommes limeys lol
True! Everyone in schools these days are tryna act hard and when proven wrong then fucking say no u, I'm so fucking offended when they say that. I'm scared of em lmfao watch out crazy kids about.
Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo true
shut up daz...you dick!!!lol
We're also great at being in the top 5 most powerful countries
America don't lose at their own sports because they are the only ones who play them.
Yes lol, If as many people played basketball than football the USA might have some competition. To be fair though, I think they would still do well. The US likes to inject huge amounts of money into sports schemes and scholarships.
And yet they demolish everyone else at the Olympics...
+PAXperMortem Their two best sports by far are the black people and school skeets
its not even their own sport 😂 basket ball was invented by someone in Scotland and "american football" was taken from british rugby
Not exactly "taken" I'm not sure about basketball, but rugby only inspired the Us versian of football. :)
1. British schools aren't shooting ranges

Hani oh snap that was a good one
Due to it happening once and then the limeys banned most guns.
Nah, they’re breeding grounds for ideological indoctrination.

The reason we don't win at our own sports is because other countries actually play them
ohhh
Lily. Practically all the world sports originated in Britain or were first formalised in Britain.Soccer (as it was originally called), rugby, cricket, tennis and golf are just the most famous.Britain was the first modern democracy, had the first modern political system, began the mechanisation of agriculture, had the first scientific animal breeding system, introduced the first museums dedicated to understanding, the first modern zoos studying animal behaviour, introduced many modern sciences including geology, and palaeontology, mapped the world, introduced time zones - so that now the Prime Meridian runs through East London, invented the first telegraph system.Britain brought about the industrial revolution - inventing (manu)facturies, railways and modern shipbuilding. England abolished slavery in 1772 - the first to do so - which probably added to the determination of the American colonies to separate. Carried out the greatest act of genuine altruism in the history of the word - the fight against the slave trade. And civilised half the world. Preventing the murder of children who were deemed unclean and stopping widow burning - to mention a tiny fraction of the achievements of the most remarkable people who have ever lived. But now doomed to extinction, betrayed by their own sense of duty to the world. .
Well I mean there's also the olympics of course where we pretty much dominate, but whatever, nbd
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh rip USA
+Carolyn Piera how many of those were actually ethnically English or should I say Scottish Welsh or Northern Irish, actually Northern Irish isn't British !! it's the part of the UK, so technically Northern Ireland was not represented in the Olympics because it was Team GB not Team UK anyways I'm digressing. oh, yeah ,how many were actually natives ?.....Rule Britannia. most of them Nigerian French Belgium Zimbabwe Somalian Irish actually quite a few Irish ...ethnically Irish I mean, the United States is a country of immigrants at least the Chinese are Chinese.

Is there any other country that has competitiveness in multiple sports like UK?? Football, cricket, golf, rugby, hockey,boxing etc .. the british talent is not only divided due to engagement in different sports but also due to divided play of four talented countries.... for evidence.Great Britan with a population of just 65 million always ranks higher in the olympic table against the likes of US with over 300 million and china over 1 billion ... see that's the evidence of real british talent...
you forgot a very very important thing HOLIDAYS we get 4 weeks paid holiday every year plus 6 individual days of a year called bank holidays.

THE BRITISH INVENTED THE INTERNET!!
No. They didn't. The internet and the World Wide Web are two separate things. "The World Wide Web (WWW) is an information space where documents and other web resources are identified by URLs, interlinked by hypertext links, and can be accessed via the Internet. The World Wide Web was invented by English scientist Tim Berners-Lee in 1989. The Internet is the global system of interconnected computer networks that use the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to link devices worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of private, public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global scope, linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless, and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries an extensive range of information resources and services, such as the inter-linked hypertext documents and applications of the World Wide Web (WWW), electronic mail, telephony, and peer-to-peer networks for file sharing. The origins of the Internet date back to research commissioned by the United States federal government in the 1960s to build robust, fault-tolerant communication via computer networks." So basically, you access the World Wide Web via the Internet. ~Mike
Not to worry, the Brits invented the computer, as well as many other important every day things.
Yes, that's alright, we ruled half the world, including America, essentially creating the United states. Blowing you out of the water, does that put you to shame?
I never said anyone created America. I simply stated that the British colonized 13 states on the east coast of North America, which, once gained independence became the United States of America. These states never would have needed to gain independence if the British Empire had never colonized them in the first place and it's unlikely the 13 states would have united.
Secondly, no one fled, it's called the British Empire for a reason. We conquered and ruled. And i completely agree with the two words "religious" and "bullshit" going next to one another, they're quite the complementary couple.
Next, you seriously believe the United Kingdom is run by Muslims? Wow you're ignorant! Let me educate you. According the latest (2011) census, 87% of the population in Great Britain is white, as opposed to 13% of the population of Great Britain being other ethnic minorities. Regarding religion, only a small 4.4% of the population is Muslim, whereas, a majority being Christian at 59.5%, of which 93% are white. You, like many others are being fooled by the media and are oblivious to reality. Now, yes, that is the 2011 census and when the new 2021 census is released i guarantee you those percentages will vary, including the Muslim population living in the UK. However, i can also assure you that Muslims will still be the small minority that they are today. And, if a president that follows Islam is ever put in to power, that doesn't mean Muslims run our country just as much as any Christian. Religion is a belief system, a belief in god or a supernatural being, or fiction as i like to call it. Much like your belief of religion running a country.
Lastly, you are delusional if you think Arabic will become Britain's official language.
Wadaeaan lak jaddana, wakunt kays sadhij min alqarf.
I trust you know what that means, and for the majority that don't speak Arabic, google translate is very helpful.
Yes i did notice that.
So you don't give a "rat ass" about history but you do about climate? Just goes to show how uneducated and simple minded you are. AND WOW, what a hypocrite you are. You falsely accuse me of stereotyping you, when you call me "little girl" and "princess"? Some nerve, but don't worry, i'm not going to judge you for not knowing the meaning behind big words like stereotype.
British invented sports like Football, Cricket, Rugby and Tennis. These sports are played globally while we aim to compete against other countries whereas USA invented sports like basketball, American football and baseball which are sports that most countries have no interests in which is why its main audience are just Americans. That's why America comes first in all of its sports where as the sports created by the British have more competition across the world.
+OGslimJesus'sBigBrother Posted up on Frank block Many Americans and Canadians play it but have you ever heard of a Basketball world cup. There's a world cup for Football, Cricket and rugby where numerous countries around the world compete in these sports including tennis tournaments such as Wimbledon which hosts tennis players from across the world. More people equals more competition.
Britain invented most of the popular sports of the world like, football, rugby, cricket, tennis etc and we are crap at every one of them. 😄 By the way it's "FOOTBALL" not "soccer. Because it's played by kicking the ball with the foot. In American "football" the ball is hardly ever kicked by a players foot. They bring on a special guy to kick the ball. So how can it be football?😳
+OGslimJesus'sBigBrother Posted up on Frank block You should check the viewing figures for sports like football for example the promise league and compare it to sports which are mainly viewed by Americans and Canadians
+Ali Hussain premier league*
+OGslimJesus'sBigBrother Posted up on Frank block The French began playing a sport which required using the palm of your hands whereas the rules of the game and the way its played was created by an Englishman. Take away the rules and the racket which is used to hit the ball its no longer tennis mate.

Why can't American stores include sales tax in the price?
Shadow Wolf78 because we would like for more people to buy our products in stores but if we include the taxes our marketing would go down
Sales taxes are different everywhere even in the same states. It's to hard to keep track of
Shadow Wolf78 why not
Shadow Wolf78 , it’s like this in Canada as well. Basically just a marketing tactic to make it seem like prices are lower. Both North American countries should implement a law that says you must include it. I know MEX is in there too, I’m just unsure about their taxation procedures. 😉

Also, we Brits drive on the correct side of the road, which has historical facts, btw.
Yes, the side of the rode you drive on determines your intelligence.
Nobody cares!
Doesn't matter which side of the road someone drives on, depends on the country... If anything us Brits drive on the wrong side.... Considering that the majority of nations drive on the other side :3
Of course it matters and the reason why is that it dates back to knights on horse back. They hold the hoses reigns in the weakest left hand and hold the sword or lance in the strongest right hand facing his opponent and vice-versa. It also applies using swords or daggers in foot combat. The English and a few other countries correctly and historically drive on the correct side of the road and the rest of the world drive on the wrong side. Even the Romans drove carts on the left too. Fact!
trancehi yeah
Most countries drive on the right
The reason why we can't win at football is because it's so popular, unlike basketball...
USA doesn't always win at basketball. Lithuania,Argentina....just 2 of many countries that HAVE beaten the USA over the years. Trust Americans to go balls out for minority sports. True England have only won the World Cup once but it's once more than the USA :)
They call their baseball final the World Series despite only them and a few in Canada taking part. The NFL winners up until a few years ago were called the world champions....minority sports they thrive in....NFL is like gay rugby anyway. All that pointless padding....
Now now!
I agree mostly.
But the World Series is not some ego thing.
The first sponsor of the tournament was a newspaper/mag called "The World" - so they called it "The World" Series. (almost like Coca-cola Cup)
But yes - the NFL winners calling themselves "World Champions"?
So Leicester City should call themselves "World Champions" of real football?
I agree - utter bullshit.
The reason why the British can't win at football is we are rubbish at it.

I might be wrong but wasn't it the World Wide Web (www) invented by a Brit. I think the internet was used by the US military years before (1960's)
I will give that to you and agree that the 'Internet' was invented in the USA long ago. But, today, when people say 'I'm on the internet', they are actually using the 'World Wide Web', which isn't technically 'The Internet'.
I would say that both 'World Wide Web - www' and the 'Internet' are seen as one in the same.

I concur
Actually, it's neither. Officially it is 230V with tolerances of -6% and +10%. This gives a voltage range of 216.2 - 253V.
For the non-electricians out there...i just typed in uk mains voltage on google...the answert was 240v
+Adam Wooldridge I doubt there's much 240v still about. It was standardised at 220v by the EU. All new electrical goods were required to work at up to 240v at the same time for safe compatibility between countries. Hence appliances stating 240v still. 110v is less hazardous, why 110v transformers are used in the construction industry, but needs thicker wire for the same power.

Better learn some more facts! The Euro-Centric media (including BBC, The Guardian etc....) is not giving you the full story.
The French one had me dying cuz it’s so true 😂
Yes
34...UK doesn’t have the arrogance , delusions of grandeur and audacity of claiming to be the greatest country ever. But the yanks on the other hand, kept on reminding everybody that they are!...everybody would just laugh!
Lelov considering we did take our independence from a country 10x more advanced at the time, it’s more likely to be that way.
Lelov do you know what rhymes with Brit? ... shit!! Brit, shit! Keep patting yourself on the back whilst you continue getting the shit stomped out of you by everything you’ve ever known!
Jay see! Typical yankie wankie ! No originality! Oh wait mate... we’re still laughing 😂
Jay You? Nonono, you just claimed your independence, it was the French Empire that ensured your win, without them your people would have failed. Wait sorry, your people, most of them were actually British so technically not yours
We are just proud we did not have to grow up in a place like the U.K. Thanks George Washington!
You totally watched Russel Howard's skit on Ebola coverage in the UK and US before making number 4
Squantle so true
Squantle watched it , loved it Russell is the best
I know I did.
Squantle yeah
Its practically a word to word quote
35...UK doesn’t owe China 3 Trillion dollars, US does!
Lelov lol
LOGAN LATHAM you know that without the help and aid your allies you yanks would’ve been long gone buddy! You been having Cold War with Russia for so long now, last election they meddled with your election and other affairs...still you did nothing! If they were a lesser country you would’ve invaded them already.... but sadly the rest of the world knows that the USA is only a capable of bullying the incapable ones! Without your allies, Russia and China would just kick your yankie fucking ass!
The cold war ended more than two decades ago, we are also in multiple non aggression agreements with china and Russia, ones that you as well are in. Russia and China wouldn't want to wage war with us anyways since it would end very badly on both sides. Multiple other countries would get involved and it would start a world war. The US, Russia, and China have enough common sense to not mess with each other. We aren't the ones that loose almost every colony we create, including a colony of poor farmers with un-advanced guns."If they were a lesser country you would’ve invaded them already", You guys are the ones that have invaded over 170 countries at some point in history.
Jesse Ward yes we colonised them CENTURIES ago.That’s how it was before.That’s how the game was played centuries ago! Time has passed and with modern changes happening, independence was inevitable! We’re the first one to scrap slavery, and we became the first industrialised country. You mentioned that Russia and China wouldn’t initiate war against the US that they have common sense. It’s the other way around, the US wouldn’t initiate war against Russia and China because 1) USA is damn broke to its knees 2) USA just handpick lesser countries. And yes other countries would be involved because the USA can’t fight a war on its own, it need allies and aids. Mano y Mano, against the other powerhouse countries it has nothing but fucking excuses! Has the USA fought a war on its own? Hell no! If it’s Russia , China or North Korea... excuses fucking excuses. If it’s a lesser country...fuck common sense, fuck morality, fuck justice and honour... the yanks would step in!
Lelov lol
The date format thing......the usa is the only country in the world to use month, day, year. The rest of the world use date, month, year.
That is the old British format. The Dule if Wellington dated his letters that way. It hung on in the US, as they were not paying attention to changes in
London.
Same reason they have the old pint, not the new Imperial pint.
Wait, they do? oh, you mean like 1/12/2019?
Actually the rest of the world is pretty split between DD/MM/YYYY and YYYY/MM/DD however both make more sense than month in the middle
Canada also uses mm/dd/yyyy.. but not on some official forms. It's a mixed bag with them

that is very true
The British invented the world wide web and also made the first computers.
Actually Scotland invented the computer to and telephone I'm sick of Wales and England taking the credit of my precious country
The US Department of Defense awarded contracts as early as the 1960s for packet network systems, including the development of the ARPANET (which would become the first network to use the Internet Protocol). The first message was sent over the ARPANET from computer science Professor Leonard Kleinrock's laboratory at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to the second network node at Stanford Research Institute (SRI).
Well technically you are correct, however if we're talking about modern computers, (the ones you think of when you think "computers") and the actual internet we know of today, that'd be the US. Modern computers needed one thing that allowed them to move out of the giant rooms they were in and into the home: the microchip, those were invented in the US. Along with the APRANET, which was the actual forbearer of what we now know of as the Internet. I'm not saying the US was the first to think of computers or the Internet or automobiles, etc… we just made them practical and mass producible so as to bring down the prices so virtually everyone could enjoy it.
Tommy Taylor I think it's sad that Alan Turing and his group are not widely recognized for having invented the computer, due to it being a state secret for decades.
British refers to all those who are citizens of Great Britain, that means Scottish people are also Brittish

Axis_Hawk not really. We're all British until Scotland decides on a referendum. Credit where credit is due.
Axis_Hawk Just like a Scot would call themselves a Scot, and would call an Englishman and Englishman. There's no difference. Of course you'd call them British, because they are until its decided otherwise - there's nothing offensive in it.
Britain: so, you've flew the coop and have made it on your own.

britain invented the world wide web
moxey 25 That would be the "www" for a web address. There are other protocols to get on the internet. The actual internet with hardware, computers, phone/cable lines, switches, etc......was invented in the U.S.A starting in the late 1960s by the U.S. military.
Yeah you are right.. but Britain invented the WWW, which everyone uses now... when was the last time you used ftp?
1950s
moxey25 America invented every sophoware application used to work with that
Αρίστος Δράμαλης Who's the 'ape'??? Any reason you have to be so angry and offensive??? You've attacked "moxey25" in a very aggressive manner, and for no good reason. Whether's he's correct or you're correct is irrelevant. Try showing a bit dignity. If you want to disagree with someone, rather than launch into an aggressive tirade try showing a bit decorum and self-respect!
Brits invented the tank
and lets not forget the only supersonic airliner
Yes Germany invented the tank not uk
Wrong the tank was invented by an Australian engineer who petitioned it to the British government. Because British Empire. Germany STOLE the tank and reversed engineered it. And then made better ones.
Roy Harmsworth which everyone copied even the ussr
The first tank was made in Lincolnshire, England
The British are not the best at complaining. Asian mothers are.

British people are miles better at complaining.
To be honest here people will just follow the rules no matter how stupid they are.
Some elderly women complain a lot at restaurants say, but only complain to each other and the staff, the second the boss walks in the room they'll say it's lovely.
British people will only complain to the boss.
This is just my experience.
+Jaw Ji Haha that sounds right. We think speaking to a boss or manager will get to the bottom of a problem more efficiently by assuming they're more qualified. That's why I can tell you some call centres have employees pose as managers even though they are qualified the same as a regular employees. It magically calms angry customers down that are transfered to a 'manager'. Hilarious when you think about it. 😅
YOU ARE A-SIAN NOT B-SIAN
This is where the English and Irish are so alike! Irish people will crib like mad in the pub, etc,but when it comes to making official complaints, forget it! There is a reason though; if you try to make an official complaint in Ireland you will get absolutely feckin 'NOWHERE!!! Brits and Irish WILL protest when things are really out of order though, as with the Poll Tax and Water Charges, and engage in civil disobedience! TBH ,I'm glad we don't yet have a litigation culture like America in our two nations!

Actually we brits invented the internet, win.
Nope. The internet and the World Wide Web are two separate things. "The World Wide Web (WWW) is an information space where documents and other web resources are identified by URLs, interlinked by hypertext links, and can be accessed via the Internet. The World Wide Web was invented by English scientist Tim Berners-Lee in 1989. The Internet is the global system of interconnected computer networks that use the Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) to link devices worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of private, public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global scope, linked by a broad array of electronic, wireless, and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries an extensive range of information resources and services, such as the inter-linked hypertext documents and applications of the World Wide Web (WWW), electronic mail, telephony, and peer-to-peer networks for file sharing. The origins of the Internet date back to research commissioned by the United States federal government in the 1960s to build robust, fault-tolerant communication via computer networks." So basically, you access the World Wide Web via the Internet. ~Mike
Erm.....so no win?
Most people know the World Wide Web as the internet. The internet was useless to the average joe before the WWW.
gitsurfer27 Yup

I am a Brit, I love the USA, I have quite a few American friends (But not as many as I have British and Irish (or Germans or Dutch come to that) but I digress) and found this amusing (not accurate but amusing) I can't understand why there are so many negative comments. Come in guys SMILE FFS.
Britain invented the internet not the Americans
False internet invented by DARPA in America to link all of the American military’s computers
you invented the world web, we invented the internet
By a British dude, we have infiltrated every level of your society. Soon we will strike.
Screw You but the guy was British, a famous brit invented the computer and her son the Internet. Get to know the history dude, behind every American is a secret brit.
Google Tim Berners Lee
You missed out THE most important one: TIPPING!
In the US it's almost DNA-ingrained, and waiters and waitresses (NOT the daft 'politically-correct' "servers") are quick to chastise low or withheld tips. In the UK, good service = appropriate tip; bad service = low or no tip (and the waiter/waitress will not complain and come running after the diner to challenge them).
yeah, but thats a point to the UK because it encourages better service... the whole point of tipping...
To be fair I never tip and don't know anyone that does
Nah, the rule in the UK is no tipping whatsoever unless you were really, really pleasantly surprised by the person you're tipping.
No tipping the UK whatsoever? You must be joking lol. Obviously I'm not going to tip like Americans do, but if a meal comes to like £47.84, I'd just put a £50 and then they can keep the change. Most people I know do that
+ Daniele Iannarelli In the US tips are considered part of the wage - so servers get paid less, meaning customers are guilted into paying the tips. In the UK the servers are paid a decent minimum wage and the tips are extras.

hosto or Scots who were forced out
Aussies are all English convicts. The Scots that got kicked out when searching round the world found some islands that were mountainous and rained all the time and they said "perfect, just like home!" and that became new Zealand.
"No one complains better than the British"
That explains John Oliver's career
apart from the French.
No one complains better than Gordon Ramsey
The French don't complain better - just louder.
He does not complain he criticises.
Dan Gallier
In my experience, the British REFUSE to complain the way Americans do, i.e. when it might actually do some good. In a store or restaurant, when receiving bad service or the wrong order, etc., British people just accept it at the time, and then complain about later to anyone who'll listen. They even get embarrassed when an American dinner companion tries to make it right. They just want to avoid any fuss. It's very strange and frustrating to Americans who are used to expecting to actually get what we pay for, even if that means opening your mouth in public.
The only bad thing about Britain is the weather and itv ads during films
I know right
have you ever been to the usa? there adds are 10 times worse
During films? Like in the theater? If you're talking about regular cable, then we have ads up the yin-yang.
lmao in USA they even put a load of ads on during the olympic ceremony brah... and in the middle of main sporting events. You know how you may watch football and get ads at the start, half time and end? Well in America when I was on holiday I was watching a channel that had ads every god damn 15 minutes
No, itv is a TV channel. We don't have adds in the theatre.
Make America Great Brittain again.
Lol good one
Sorry - can't make up for Scotland that might as well be out the door.
Hell no.
America didn't invent the internet.
Dian I agree that it was a collaborative effort and America played a rather important roll. Still saying "America invented the internet" is incorrect.
It can't be "correct and not correct" at the same time.
It's better to say America made a big contribution to the invention of the internet, or something along those lines.
Initial concepts of packet networking originated in several computer science laboratories in the United States, United Kingdom, and France.
When America developed TCP/IP they based their protocol in work that the French did before if I remember correctly.
From that point internet has evolved a lot and many countries have done contributions (I'm talking about technology not content in the web).
If we had to quantify how much America has contributed to the internet I would say that is around 35% and is the major contributor.
But when someone say America invented the internet that's a lie.
Dian
Yes I know you get it, but I don't know why it bothers me so much when someone receive credit they don't deserve like Graham Bell inventing the telephone, Thomas Edison the light bulb and America the internet among others.
or piza, hamburger, tv, airplanes
America invented its predecessor Arpanet which grew to be the Internet.
You know you managed to offend an American when you say
Mount Everest has faster internet than you.

America: Why does England still have a Monarch in modern times?
Also America: **Uses Farenheit instead of Celcius for temperatures**
In regards to the British understating things. Look up what happened to the Northumberland Rifles, whilst trying to hold a hill against North Korean and Chinese troops. When asked how things were? The General replied that things were a bit "Sticky". Which the American took as meaning things were a bit rough but we'll be ok. What the British meant by a bit sticky, was that they were facing overwhelming numbers of enemy, running out of ammunition. And about to be overrun any minute, so please send help. Lol. Love being British. 👍👍
Royal Northumberland Fusiliers ?
MACONE Scotland Yep that's the one. Smoking weed and recalling historical facts don't really go hand in hand? Talking shit and eating too many munchies, yes. Being able to correctly recall historical facts, no. Lol. Thanks for the heads up mate. 👍
BiggsN15 My grandfather was in The Black Watch during the Korean War.When he told me about the Battle of Hook,he said that things were a bit shit
That's a good point i never thought of until now, it was a straight up civil war!
Understatement is an art form that is to be adored and admired! To say things are in a bit of a pickle often means that we're under, a serious fraud investigation, likely to be shut down by the government and the pension pot has no money it; we'll carry on.
To say America "invented" internet is so simplified that it isn't even right anymore
But the Internet was invented
It was a network created for military use in the United States
The process of transferring packets of information between two remote systems? It was a government funded project that was later adopted for civilian use. So yes, "America "invented" internet."
+NYC Don't forget Tim Berners Lee, the man who invented the World Wide Web.
it was also a man from Greenland that made the coding most major sites use
It is true that we complain a lot, mainly because we have a lot to complain about.
I would say we moan a lot, rather than complain, if you know what I mean.
Ann Waine yeah
Kate Lds And it has merrit like who drinks tea in a glass cup?
The weather being the #1 thing us Brits complain about
On a hot sunny day: it’s too hot. Why can’t it rain?
On a day that’s not a hot sunny day: it’s too cold. Why do we never see the sun? It’s always raining
Kate Lds Also comes with the description of being a Leeds united Fan We have the right to complain ALAW B-)
Ahem: Canada actually invented basketball...
Actually the Internet was a British invention too.....Look it up
I did look it up. The Internet was invented by the US military in the 1960s. (Although the bit of the Internet that most people interact with directly - the World Wide Web - was invented by a Brit working at CERN in the 1980s).
Actually both an american (Paul Baran) and brit (Donald Davies) independently came up with the concept (Donald Davies - welsh, and Paul Baran - American) of Packet-Switching with which led to ARPANET. You'll find the The U.S. National Inventors Hall of Fame naming both. Davies used the term packets, Baran named them message blocks.
No, it was not
The internet as we know it, as in the tool we are using at this moment, was created by Tim Berners-Lee. A British man, look it up bro
No, Tim Berbers-Lee invented the world wide web. Paul Baran and universities such as UCLA worked together to make the internet.

I'm English and I found that funny, the bit about the British inventing sports and not winning at any is almost true, we win at darts lol lol, great video thanks for uploading.
What about billiards and bowling? Were they invented by the Brits?
Oh, by the way, we call soccer 'football'. It has been called that since about the twelfth century. 'Soccer' was only used in the nineteenth century. There is no evidence that it comes from the word 'association', early uses suggest it was used as an insult by people who played rugby football. 'They just 'sock' the ball anywhere with their feet. (See the BBC programme 'Balderdash and Piffle' for evidence of this.)
darts are not a sport and if you guys consider it a sport thats a pussy ass sport
andy walks I don't think generalising a whole group of people based on what one person said is healthy
andy walks any game where people compete against each other can be considered an sport, now look at that girls game the brits invented many moons ago it was called rounders but now called baseball in the USA That's called sport lol lol only a joke don't take it to heart please.
