the U.K. wall plug is a design classic that is substantially safer than any other plug design on Earth.

We know electricity is scary stuff that needs a scary looking plug to handle it and can take the resulting foot pain of treading on one with typical stoicism.

The politeness of the drunken yoof in Magaluf, aya napa etc. I was especially proud of the girl who carried out 24 sex acts in front of eveyone in a nightclub. Classy.
Makes me so proud that our future is safe.

fair enough iolo.

Not sure blame can be firmly laid at the door of British plug design, though?

mmm, its a bit sad if we need a plug to be proud.

iolo, which club was this then ?

The OP reminded me of this:

I’m glad it’s finally making to market..
Folding UK plug

iolo, which club was this then ?

there was a video doing the rounds of some girl being bullied by a huge crowd to do stuff. I didn’t see it but it sounds like it was all a bit ugly.

It’s not all that we have to be proud of. We have excellent gas fittings too.

We invented the hovercraft, too.

there you go;

excellent plugs
good quality gas fittings
the hovercraft

We can hold our heads high on the international stage of ‘stuff that makes your nation great’.

We have good bridges too.

I heard she was Irish.

She wasn’t being bullied, wwaswas, she was did what she did to get a free “holiday”.

she was either being bullied, or coerced.
And was filmed by the people who coerced her, then reneged an the “agreement”.
They are scum, not her

…and the Internet. Or at least the protocols that allowed information to be sent across a widely dispersed network; thank you Tim Bernars Lee.
DARPANet was the first information network.

The tin can (1820) and the can opener (1855)! Two world changing British inventions!

Bicyclists who can ride round corners in the rain without falling off.

That was a tough 35 years.

What did we do for 35 years?

They employed children with long toe nails to open them.

We were stocking up ready for the zombie apocalypse.

Don’t forget the cyclone vacuum cleaner.

We invented the hovercraft, too.

I often watch the last remaining customer hovercraft service running from my house. 🙂

This made me chuckle too. Local MP on Twitter: A friend works for @HovertravelLtd and told insurance co. his job. Lady on phone didn’t believe hovercraft really existed…

What about the jet engine?

What about the jet engine?

They exist.

what does the rUK use 🙁

Telephone, casteyes, lightbulbs.
We don’t do too bad really.

The polar bear-proof paper clip.it still needs perfecting.

I’ve had one of the MU folding plugs for a couple of years now, brilliant idea and very handy to throw in a bag but it’s only a 1A output so it would be good if they brought out a 2.4A version.

Ooof!

Can’t believe no one has mentioned the slide! I can’t believe it wasn’t invented until 1922!

This far and no one has mentioned…

The bicycle?
The pneumatic tyre?
531?
Planetary gearing?
Bowden cables?
Standardisation of bicycles components?

The slide in 1922?
I was in a salt mine here.
This mine is 7000 years old and the tour guide said the miners moved between mining layers via timber slides. In the tour we slid down two. Great fun they were too.

Either way; not british.

‘The United Kingdon of Great Britain and Northern Ireland’. NI is not part of Britain.

Haven’t seen anything better than our road signage, even if it is a bit ott in places. On a similar note the underground map is genius and has be copied the world over.
