The original inhabitants of these Isles were the Brits.
As people saw the delights and moved over, they integrated and bred with the locals, and not being pure bloods themselves, the offspring were described as being British.

The British are spearate from the Ticklish tribe of France, thus named as they quickly roll on their backs for a tummy rub at the first sign of trouble.

Due to a recent tete a tete, plans to twin Paris with Canberra have now been shelved. Plans to twin Paris with Beirut have been revived, although many commentators have pointed out that Paris is lu ching well above its weight with that pairing.

To reflect our international standing as a laughing stock, rather than twin London with the city of Canberra, it's been decided instead to twin with a bird. The kookaburra.

Night clubs take their name from the victorian era, when at night church halls would hand out Jacob's Clubs to the homeless, who would then dance together in celebration.

Jacobs ladder was an early firefighters aid, used to reach the tops of burning buildings and constructed entirely from Jacob's Clubs.
It was, unfortunately, about as much use as a chocolate fireguard.

Crackerjack was originally titled Crackerjac, as Jacob was the main character.
Unfortunately, it was pronounced Crack-a-Yak, and was very popular in Mongolia.
The subsequent Friday afternoon slaughter of the Yak population by overexcited schoolchildren caused a change in title.

The Family of Hemel Hempsteads Doris Taylor MBE still receive royalties for her initiative in 1943.
Doris invented the concept of hot meals delivered to the home with her Meals On Wheel concept, which is now taken up by Just Eat and others, who are each obliged to pay royalties.
I'm not totally sure if the original claims still hold true, where research shows that home-delivered meal programs significantly improve diet quality, increase nutrient intakes, reduce food insecurity and improve quality-of-life among the recipients. The programs also reduce government expenditures by reducing the need of recipients to use hospitals, nursing homes or other expensive community-based services.
