As a Scotsman I'd happily bash the English all day but I suspect what you are referring to is the UK, which is comprised of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland!
I’ll cover some of those off. We have had the best performing economy in the EU for the last 20 years (don't know where you get the America thing from), we have some world leading biotechnology due to us having more relaxed laws than many (first animal cloned - Dolly the Sheep - was in Edinburgh), London and Edinburgh are two of the most beautiful and visited cities in Europe, the SAS is the greatest special forces unit in the world, London has a good few of the world’s leading restaurants.
Other stuff. Our comedy is some of the finest in the world. Don’t humour me (pun intended) with some guff about syndicated American stuff that gets piped across the globe, show me writing as sharp and culturally sensitive as the likes of the Office, Pheonix Nights and Alan Partidge to name but a few in recent years. Humour is part of the entire culture in the UK, a night of pub banter is not the same in any other part of the globe I’ve visited.
And one thing we’re number 1 in is music. Both in diversity and a whole cultural interest in nurturing new bands. The list of bands and artists produced by the UK is astounding and we continue to produce fantastic music. Music remains one of the biggest UK exports to the world. Indeed, please name me one artist of note who has pushed the boundaries of music but not sold well in the UK (that’s not an excuse to list whatever pop star is famous in your country, we want global acts please).
OK, there’s a few rebuttals, please tell us what your country has added to the world and give us a good laugh.
