damshoppin: A recent study found that the average English person walks about 900 miles a year. Another study found that the English drink, on average, 22 gallons of alcohol a year.
That means that, on average, the average Englishman get about 41 miles to the gallon!
Makes you proud to be English...

Not sure what a "www.worlds first electronic computer" is, but have you read "The Atanasoff Story"? I believe the first "digital computer" is the Atanasoff–Berry Computer built in 1937 at Iowa State College. professor rolling on the floor laughing

Football? I don't think so professor rolling on the floor laughing
According to "Time Sports"
"The game (soccer) first played in Sheffield in the mid-19th century — and throughout England for many decades hence — bears little resemblance to football as we know it today. And England, sad to say, has spent most of the past century trying, mostly in vain, to catch up. (Most of the top players and coaches in Sir Dave’s English Premier League are not, it should be noted, actually English.) dunno
