Thank you England for reluctantly giving us America where I live. When I was in grade school we got lots of English history. You would think we were still a colony.
1944 ranks first. Men died in foreign countries to get rid of @#$%& and the Nazis. All The Stones are little skinny guys due to post war war rationing which went on until ...what...1952?

Tea has become too prissy for most Americans, especially men. Coffee is the drink of choice.
Each to their own, Men in England manage to enjoy both tea and coffee

Only 2 James Bonds fo date have been English.
1 : Sean Connery - from Scotland
2 : George Lazenby - Australia
3 : Roger Moore - England
4 : Timothy Dalton - Wales
5 : Piers Brosnan - Ireland
6 : Daniel Craig - England
and the next James bond will probably be a female from Canada
Talk about your favorite band.

I am thankful for King George III (and his Dad), the kings of England, for being such a jerk. The facts of his Royal Jerkness were submitted to the world about how he refused Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He forbid his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he utterly neglected to attend to them. He refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. He called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their Public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. He dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.... and a bunch of other jerk stuff... [www.ushistory.org]
... because without King George III (and his Dad) being such utter jerks, the people living in the colonies back in the 1770s would not have gotten so pissed off and declared Independence... and my country never would have been created.
Thanks George III, ya Royal Jerk!

You are all most welcome....we're a funny bunch us English, but after reading all those lists above, I am reminded of our influences in all matters. Did anyone mention tea? If not, never forget a cup of tea....if you want to make a perfect one.....and for this I am not suggesting the old skool way of tea leaves in a tea pot, but the modern method. Tea bag in cup (before water) boiling water poured on, then stirred and left for 3 minutes, before adding skimmed milk. Enjoy with a good quality biscuit such as a chocolate digestive or Hob nob. This will solve most problems.

Tea has become too prissy for most Americans, especially men. Coffee is the drink of choice.

Two just off the top of my head are ,
The World Cup Football/Soccer 1966 Campaign, and Winners at the old Wembley Stadium.
Nothing in English football compares to that.
The Rolling Stones who were just in about 2nd gear back then to become the greatest band in the world.
I was 14 back then but great memories of both.
Lots more to thank England for but these two stand out for me.
