You seem to be totally missing my point; the UK has plenty of people who want to be entrepreneurs and plenty of innovation - it just fails to capitalize on it and our greatest products languish in obscurity, while they should be leading the world. I totally agree with you that the UK has incredible innovators. UK companies build products that are light years ahead of the rest of the world, but that are unknown outside of the UK (Spectrum, BBC Micro, Amstrad, Acorn, Psion, Teletext?). This is a good place to wrap up, as we clearly have a very different picture of our mutual homeland - which is why you're happy there and why I am happy not being there. Best of luck to you, and I really mean that (even though you called me a prat :) ).
