. The Sandwich    I have to go with the Brits here.

2. The Modern Flush Toilet   The Brits again

3. The Sewing Machine      Well this is starting to look kind of slanted...I think the first machines
    were German.   But I still agree its Singer, over the British.

4. The lawn Mower    This sound like an American idea..but again it seems like we are going to
    hear that it is all the Brits.... 

5. The Burglar Alarm   The Brits

6. The Telephone   I know the American but really Canadian was Bell, however, it was a finish     project he carried on after others had started the invention.

7. The Electric Light   Same here, Edison and  Kesla  both invented it.  Yank

8. The Hearing Aid   Dont have a clue, so i will say American.

9. Tennis   British

10. The Disposable Diaper/Nappy   British....

11. The Coffee Pot   Americans love their coffee.  If it was invented by the Brits it would be the
      tea pot im guessing

13. Roller Skates   American

14. The Hovercraft   British

15. Frozen Food   Birdseye...American
