Hmmm,
John Logie Baird - name of inventor,
Hastings - name of a town on the south coast of England where Mr Baird first broadcast TV images to a TV. Did I miss something? Sorry that Kat and I proved you to not be omniscient but sometimes facts are facts. I won't continue to argue this small point of history. There is no point arguing with those people who KNOW that they are right all the time no matter what factual information is put under their noses.
BTW, I'm an American and like I said before, I won't argue the Euro/USA debate. Both places have their good and bad points. I like living here the same as I liked growing up and living in the States. I didn't know who invented the TV either until I moved here and read up on the subject. Same as many Americans (and probably many others across the globe) I naturally assumed that it was invented in the US as that is where it was most widely used and popularised.
I'm done here now. Hope you all have a lovely day. I've got to go find out whether my unborn baby is a boy or a girl!!
