IKB should definitely be well up there, but so should Newton. If anything he typifies the British ability to pinch ideas from others and call them his own while belittling the originator with gusto! What a guy :-)
Actually, that is unfair. 55% of the world's inventions are by Brits. Most of them are probably useless, but nonetheless 55% is a large proportion. Unfortunately, all the investment comes from abroad and the ideas never see daylight in most cases.
