Out of nowhere this question popped into my head earlier, then without any hesitation my answer came with great certainty. Stephen Fry.
Who's yours...?

I don't feel "British", can I post someone else instead? What is "Britishness" anyway? Isn't is just another word for English?
Anyway, Kirkpatrick Macmillan and Graeme Obree make me proud to be Scottish

Leonard Cheshire.One of the greatest
A wee explanation as some might not have herd of him. War hero - squadren leader of 617 squadron (the dambusters) after the Dams raid. got a VC for various acts of great courage.
After the war founded a series of homes for the elderly and disabled - partly by happenstance - an organisation that today is widespead and successful.
A hero in war and a hero in peace

Frederick Sanger OM. 2 Nobel prizes in chemistry, first for understanding protein sequence, second for understanding DNA sequence. The father of molecular biology and what we now call genomics.
I was just going to mention him as a great man who happened to by British, bu thinking about it I do take some pride in his being British. That such fundamental areas of science were pioneered in the UK is something to be proud of, as is his legacy of world class science that continues to this day in our country.
