DAVID C replied: "Ho this is a good one, let me compose you a fitting answer. The Average Englishman? The average Englishman, in his home he calls his house - does not put on a shabby Raincoat patented by Charles MacIntosh of Glasgow, Scotland, only the drunken Scots down the pub, and the perverts wear those. All his clothes are made on machines designed by Englishmen, Thomas Cromford, Richard Arkwright and Edmund Cartwright. He drives a car fitted with tyres, which may have been invented by invented by John Boyd Dunlop of Dreghorn, Scotland. Or may not, Dunlop, like most of his fellow Scots had deserted the ‘auld country’ to work in Glorious England, in this case it was at Manchester, and he was using the invention of Charles Goodyear. Who in 1847 invented a vulcanisation process for rubber - an invention that also revolutionised transport as it led to the development of pneumatic tyres. Charles was born in New Haven, Connecticut, of English parents. Anyway, he prefers to travel by Jet aircraft to work, an invention of Sir Frank Whittle, rather than use the Train, which was invented by Thomas Newcomen. At the office he receives his mail with postage stamps which, still bear the Queen of England's head, a product developed by Sir Rowland Hill - English educator, inventor, and postal reformer. During the day he uses the computer invented by Charles Babbage. Although born in London, Babbage came from an old Totnes (Devon) family. Of course Alan Turin first built the machine around 1945. Oh he was English too. At home in the evening he watches his daughter Hoover the front room, with a machine invented by James Dyson, whilst listening to the radio, built and invented by Trevor Baylis And calculates (on the calculator developed Clive Sinclair) how much money he has saved on batteries. He would not be able to watch anything on TV if it hadn't been for Charles Parsons whom developed the electric generator. He not interested about the U.S. Navy since he used to serve in the Royal Navy, created by King Alfred the Great. He is also too educated to worry about the ideas within the Bible, since he completed his degree at Oxford, and his doctorate at Cambridge - the worlds finest universities. He likes a drop of Gin and Tonic, or some nice cider - even a good real ale, a Saxon invention. Then the late film comes on the BBC, its Braveheart, played by an Australian, and it fails to show Robert the Bruce as a Norman, whose real name was Robert De Bloice, but the Scots could not pronounce that lol. Of course he has one worry, its that all those blasted Scots who won’t go home, are mucking up his glorious Parliament, (another English Invention) despite the fact that we have given them their own building, I suppose they just like it so much here in England, that they don’t want to go home to that cold damp climate."
