As much as I admire a lot of things the Brits have done, engineering common
sense in their products isn't one of them. Anyone who has worked on a car
made in the UK ( not a re-badged Asian vehical ) will have favourite stories
of having to take the rear bumper off before you can get the battery out
etc. Using 4 legged tables on uneven surfaces so that they rock and spill
your coffee is typical. The Harrier VTOL jet was good though ! ( and that
landed on 3 wheels as I recall )

I just returned from a trip to the UK and a experienced
a reoccurring annoyance. Their shopping carts and airport
carts have casters for all 4 wheels. This makes it impossible
to steer the cart. As you push it along it will move in any
direction. You choose the direction of movement by
muscling it in that direction.
