Losing the Hundred Years War is often overlooked as well

And Dunkirk. And selling out the Czechs. And the retreat from Kabul. Yorktown. The first Boer War. Having to be rescued by the Prussians at Waterloo. Having to be rescued by the French at Inkermann. And the fact that English armies lost the English Civil War, the Baron's Wars, the Wars of the Roses, Hastings....

also losing to the Dutch and having their leader made king

At least we were on time for the various wars - unlike the Americans

"Peace for our time." And when that didn't work they belatedly joined in. "On time" my tonsils!

If you really own something, chances are you've still got it a few years later.

We were benevolent and gave it as a gift to our Colonials
