well of course an english person isn't just going to rehash what thousands have done over the course of centuries, english people are capable of improving on anything immediately
however if you do like bosnia or the middle east, you can be incredibly useful to western cultures, by learning to fix a proper coffee, the commonwealth countries really need to do some borrowing in this regard
