If you think about the times when England was on top, what do you remember about it? They made things, they made really good things. Precision tools, weapons, navy ships, fighter jets, amazing cars, trains, computers.
The best tools I've ever used as a woodworker have all been English. I really miss that time hanging out in my grandfathers shed using all his British, American and German hand tools. I sort of lost track of them after his death because I thought that period would just go on forever...shame :(
I don't mind Chinese stuff, I have "some" of it, but to this day, nothing can compare with the stuff I own from the UK.
Disclaimer: Not British.

- thebruce87m 2y agoAs someone who is British but not English, you’re going to have to explain that one to me.
- c7THEC2DDFVV2V 2y agoI've met many Welsh, Scottish and English who don't identify as British. I'm <insert nation> first, not British. I'm British, born in England.

- nuc1e0n 2y agoThe UK stills makes good cars, but the management at British car plants is now Japanese. When the management was British there was a lot of industrial action. No longer. What does that say about what they teach at places like Eton?
