What have the English ever done for for us?


Recommended Posts

Football! Rugby!

 

 

CANADA

 

Some claims the football is truly a Canadian game and it was a Canadian who invented football. Invented by the replacement for British troops entering Quebec in the 1600's. Canadian Universities then introduced the game to American Colleges. It is said that by the time America first heard of football, Canada already has their professional football league of sorts.

Did you hear about the bigot who hates all things English? He makes a good living in the Concreting business, because almost everything in the City depends on this industry. It's just a pity that rein

The NHS..which without most of you wouldnt be here today

Seems like a lot of people feel badly done to by the British,understandable.   Who are these British who go round invading,stealing and generally pissing off everyone? Its not me,im a f****n bricky,

At least on the battlefield, all of our troops can and do fight as one country, and probably are grateful for all the different skills that the four nations pull together with. ;) Unfortunatly on our streets, a minority sometimes ruin this harmony.

In that case you could also claim China invented the game over 1000 years ago....only their version of " rules " simply meant you had to get a round object ( ball ) into any number of holes ( goals )................its generally accepted that the modern game of association football was invented at Cambridge University England in the 1860,s...........

The English brought tea to the world, what more do you want?

 

The English also invented government and democracy but I wouldn't really say that turned out well at the moment.

 

Wrong on both counts tea came from India and the Chinese were drinking tea when we were all in mud huts. Goverment democracy invented by the Greeks
