We all know them: The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Depeche Mode, New Order, the Cure, Faithless, Oakenfold, Sasha, Digweed, Stuart Price aka Thin White Duke, Spice Girls , etc...
It's certainly not their food.

How can it be a great export when all the Brits ever did was import from other countries?

Our greatest export is what you just wrote that post in.

There's more: Coldplay, Radiohead, the entire progressive house movement was attributed to the Brits.
I can think of no other export that has had such a global impact. Maybe you guys can.
LOL! *whoosh*

In case you missed it the first time, I'll be more blunt than the posts before mine...
The English language, the thing you speak on a daily basis, the letters on your computer screen, the language that a large portion of the world communicates in. I trust you've heard of it?
In modern times, I think Americans have more to do with the spreading of the language more than England. Non-native English speakers use far more American slang than British slang.
