James Watt didn't invent the steam engine Thomas Newcomen did. He did improve it though.

Well, we no longer have discarded carrier bags littering the environment. That must be an improvement.

Er - yes we do and if you read the thread you will see that people are still discarding them, especially schoolkids grazing on snacks and dropping them where they finish because 5p makes absolutely no dent in their spending power. The school will of course say that it is not their kids that are dropping them....... strange then that this week is half term and there have been none to add to my collection!
