No. It's the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Northern Ireland is in the UK, not Britain. Britain is made up of England, Scotland and Wales.

Ahhh.....      You never said official. I'll concede that it was a bit crap and small.

But nevertheless, I think the one in Athens was organised by a foreign commitee, not the Greeks themselves. It was a Frenchman I believe.

The French didn't call them French fries.  They call them frites (fried/fries). It's bloody Jefferson who started calling them French fries.

There's a few more sources that agree with wikipedia on this matter. Google around or visit the ol' library. Whatever the case may be, the all-electronic computer is a US prize.

In 1939, Howard Florey and his team of researchers made Penicillin into the first modern antibiotic. That's a pretty big contribution to the modern world.

So TV lied to me??

I'm really confused now. As i distinctly recall THC saying
"But what was the first 'computer'?
Well the first computer that we would think as a modern 'computer' would be a digital computer.... blah blah blah... British ENIAC in WWII"
