        Lots of great British products in the pro audio field. Mixing consoles, speakers, DSP devices, etc.

                Name a British car brand that is NOT owned by non-British. Jaguar, Rolls-Royce, MINI, Bentley... all owned by American and German companies.

                If they're still built in Britain, then it's still industrial products made by Brits.

                  Under JLR, which Ford sold to India's Tata Motors in 2008. They're still built in England but they'll move to China, apparently.

                  Aston Martin is sort-of British owned, as it's owned by a consortium of British businessmen and a Kuwaiti investment company IIRC who bought it from Ford. You could also include Caterham and McLaren if you want to as well.

                    Who cares?

                    RR, the engineering firm, is still British owned and operated. BAE Systems is as well.

                    The problem with the UK's defense exports is that, for political reasons, so much of their stuff is "jointly" built with other nations concealing the true contribution to whatever the program is (the F-35, Eurofighter, etc.).

                    ARM itself, which along with RR is the only other "true" British comany that is a leader in it's field, whose architecture dominates the smartphone market by a wide margin, doesn't actually make anything. It licenses their designs to people like Samsung, Nvidia, Apple, TI, etc.

                      Do they actually build anything?

                        It depends how you look at it. They don't manufacture anything, but nor do AMD or Nvidia...

                        They build designs.

                          They build half-ass designs and make other people finish them off.

                            The ARM-designed cores are seldom changed. Only Qualcomm really does it these days.

                            TI and Samsung use them intact. They just package other chips with it.

                            Even Apple's A4 uses ARM's CPU design unchanged.

                                I don't know anything about ARM, I'm too poor to afford 32 bits. Although this looks pretty damn sweet.
