      Nation of heroes.

      Nation of heroes.

      I play this regularly with my American co-workers. I give them a famous invention or discovery, and ask them if it was invented by an American or Brit.
      They give me their answer, and I tell them their wrong. Oh, bless. It’s my favourite conversational blood sport. I’m applying for Olympic sport status in 2012.

      The best thing that I like about Britain, it that we control time.

      Time. We control it, and no-one else does.
      Every country in the world first has to know what the time is in Britain, before they can work out what the time is in their own country.

      How? We have Greenwich Mean Time. The line of prime meridian. Right there in London. We control time. It was a close call though. We almost didn’t have the line of meridian. At one point in went though France. If anyone remembers the Da Vinci Code book, it was called the Rose Line, and it went though the city of Paris. Thank goodness, some one saw sense and gave back us Brits control of time. However just imagine. Just imagine if that it was still in Paris. Then the whole world instead of Greenwich Mean Time, GMT, the whole world would always be on Paris Mean Time. Or PMT !!!

        The Hugh Laurie thing makes me laugh - I just think of him being really toffy and goofy in Blackadder and Jeeves and Wooster

        Hayden - my school was right near the GMT line in East Grinstead so they always made us go there and stand with one foot on either side and gave us a certificate. Quite cool when you're 11

          LOL.

          I bet when you were 11, digital watches were still quite cool, and kinda new.

          I think there is a place in America where you can lie down on the ground with each hand and foot in different States.
