The original design for the telephone was invented by an italian, it's just he didn't have the funding, so Graham Bell stole the design and pretended it was his.

Yes, I know I'm from the UK, but I'm from ENGLAND, and so instantly I'm against anyone scottish. So there.

Lara Croft was invented in England, I'd say that was a pretty era defining invention.

We also invented punk music, y'know we did.

And don't forget, Jesus was English.

I misread the title. I thought it read 'things that the british invaded'. I'm a bit disappointed now, so I'll leave.
