The pedants on BM will argue, but the standout inventions for me are the sports we invented - Football, Cricket, Tennis, Rugby (both codes), Golf, Horse Racing etc.

I think with a lot of sports,we didn't actually invent them as such just tidied them up and re wrote the rules to suit.Pity we're still shit at most even after rewriting the fucking rules
