... and the Hillman Hunter and all of those British Leyland junk piles and those Rovers that spend half of their lives being fixed in garages and .... oh yes ... lest we forget ... Beagle 2.

The British gave the world the Harrier Jump Jet, Concorde, Rolls Royce, Jaguar, the first iron propeller-driven ship SS Great Britain.
We built Stonehenge, St Paul's Cathedral, the Palace of Westminster, the Mini, the red phone box, the World Wide Web, the computer, the telephone and the mini skirt.
Canada cannot compare. It's like Dagenham & Redbridge compared to Manchester City.
