This is a genuine question… it’s not meant to cause offence … but what is England really good at today?
[I know I said Britain, but that was for the purpose of a snappy headline, ha!]
I’m not talking about things they are the absolute best at … I’m asking on a World stage, what tangible things can England truly claim to being a leader at/in?

Leading the World in how not to run the car and aerospace industries? Oh yes, you said serious didn’t you.
Comment by Pete August 20, 2007 @ 7:21 amWhat about television? Is that still something that can be praised? And despite serious underfunding, the British health service is still something to be proud of.
Football? Advertising? Medical Research?
I’ll put my lack of ideas down to it being late and having to continually stop Sarah packing up the whole house for our holiday.
Looking forward to reading what others say but not for about a month. Don’t be too jealous 🙂
art. and i say that with all seriousness. english artists are the fucking best in their field at the moment and on a mass number too.
Comment by lauren August 20, 2007 @ 7:23 amFrom what I know of… the Premier League and the way it’s marketed. It’s the pinnacle of football in the world and they’ve done a great job of making every other league in the world look inferior.

Is this all because of the anti-Swedish ad I read you earlier?

Comment by Paul H. Colman August 21, 2007 @ 1:21 amGod it’s sad that a bunch of [allegedly 🙂 ]clever people can’t come up with much … or, if I am being honest, anything.
Hello Mr Colman, it is nice to have you pop by and sadly yours is probably the best suggestion because you are proudly British and as far as I know, the only practitioner of blogwashing in the World.
What a mess my homeland is in … oh well, it’s sort-of proving the point I was hoping which will be revealed soon. [ie: When I never have to see this blessed MTV preso ever again, ha!]
