Guest guest Report post Posted September 24, 2005 Obviously, in the land of the plenty, takeaways appear to be cheaper, petrol is cheaper, and portions and cars are bigger. Which would explain the sterotypical American obese tourist. We Brits have a tradition of smaller portions - probabaly being an island and food not being so plentyful etc having something to do with it. Unfortunately American habits seem to be invading us. Thanks for Mcdeathburger and others like them. Im sure that there is something that you Yanks gave us Brits that wasnt harmful?, but having no memory doesnt help. The Valley Vegan.............

Guest guest Report post Posted September 25, 2005 Not the car, France and Germany had them first. the first working airplane. Actually Leonardo daVince designed the first airplane. A French tailor invented the sewing machine. An american, Howe, patented an improved machine. As to the boob tube, a German originally patented the idea. An Englishman demonstrated the first " modern system. And American was responsible for the eltronic system using cathode-ray tubes.

Guest guest Report post Posted September 25, 2005 I would use the same arguement for Jazz as rock and roll. The electric light, one of the everyday conveniences that most affects our lives, was invented in 1879 simultaneously by Thomas Alva Edison in the United States and Sir Joseph Wilson Swan in England. Television is credited to John Logie Baird. Need I go on?
