First Ever Visit to UK

[Alexikokopops]

What I meant was quite frankly that which I've highlighted.

I was just saying that although the country now isn't very good, look at the history of the places and figures that have emerged from England. Other countries could only dream of the talent we have created, you know, people then seem to me like they were more talented than people now. Look at people such as; Christopher Wren, Isaac Newton, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, Winston Churchill, The Beatles, Charles Darwin, William Shakespeare, Lord Nelson, Charles Babbage, etc

I just mean like, people don't seem to be as clever or gifted I suppose, as in previous years. Look at those legends I previously wrote down in the initial post, theres nothing like that now. I know technology has significantly developed though.

You've named people from a period spanning over 400 years (Shakespeare to the Beatles) and are comparing it to people and are comparing it to a period of about 40 years . What do you expect!

You aren't comparing apples with apples though, those people were not all recognised as brilliant at a single point in time! They completed a body of work at achievements over a lifetime. Also people these days work internationally if they brilliant. You know the iPod and iPhone were created by an Brit? Dyson? Sir Norman Foster? Stephen Hawking? Are you paying attention?

True.

(I know Jon the Hat has now come up with some names now), but I couldn't think of anyone these days
