More people speak Chinese than English, and English itself is a hodge podge of languages invented by other people, amongst them the Romans, the Germans, the Celts. Most of the other things you mentioned were not invented in Britain even in the minds of most British:
telephone - Invented in the US
military tank - Leonardo Da Vinci thought of it in 1500, the Austrians designed a version already with all the attributes of the real tank 4 years before the British, and the French actually built a working tank 3 month before the british conceptualized it. In any case, the lumbering British box with canons poking out the sides isn't the real ancester of true modern tank. That honor belongs to another French tank, the Renault FT.
sewage system - The Indians had it 1500 years before London had it, and guess who put it in London? The Romans.
jet engine - The British idea was a dead end. Modern jet engines descended from the independently conceived German concept formulated at the same time.
the periodic table - Russian
the submarine - Like the Mary Rose? Ships have sunken before, you know?
television - The first electronic television of any kind was made by the Germans in 1884. The first conceptually modern televation was made by the French in 1903
the world wide web - Invented in CERN
english language - So what? Everyone needs and has invented their own launguage.
