Has Great Britain ever been considered a "hyper-power" like the United States or Russia are currently considered? If not, why?

Anyway no Britain has never been in the class of Hyperpower or Superpower, we dont care to be, we're happy being a sleeping bulldog.

We're not a superpower as such, but what we bring to the table can be the deciding factor in winning or losing a battle. Experience.

No, no, no, no, no. The Brits are happy to sit there surrounded by an invaders nightmare of a sea borne invasion being repelled by submarines you cant hear, cant see, and can blow you apart in a heartbeat.

Do you have any attributes quirks sensitivities abilities etc that you've come to learn most people don't experience? E.g. dream with subtext or experience de ja vu regularly or know you experience life very differently from those around you etc?

Of the Brits I know and good friends with, they all chuckle at the ‘Superpower’ thing.

Superpower is such a tad ‘compensatory'.
